«Images, especially when they overwhelm the world, constantly carry with them the danger of becoming a means of mindlessness because as images (...) they never reveal the relationships that constitute the world» - Gunther Anders (1956)
Born in Nîmes in 1987, Salomé-Charlotte Camors holds a master's degree in management sciences (Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne), a bachelor's degree in anthropology-ethnology (Toulouse 2 Jean Jaurès), a master's degree in contemporary visual arts practices (Montpellier 3 Paul Valéry) and she is actually a PhD candidate in visual arts under the supervision of Marion Laval-Jeantet (From AOO) at the Institut ACTE (Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne). Since 2023, she has been co-president of the Artlinker association, on whose artistic management committee she sits.
Her work is rooted in a world in crisis - ecological, social and political - in which a section of humanity seems to find refuge in the quest for the illusory happiness promised by consumer society. Yet we live in a world of images, whether aesthetic objects, especially photo, as vectors of meaning, and the massive dissemination of images mediatising the major issues of our time should, on the face of it, lead us to question ourselves. However, between habituation, commodification, exoticization and the aestheticization of destruction, our relationship with the predicates that images represent is far from simple.
It is these relationships between images, individuals and the perception of our environment that interest his practice and research. Her work aims to produce an emancipatory aesthetic that questions our relationship with otherness and our individual and collective responsibility in shaping our environment.
She has exhibited at the Académie du Climat as part of the Nuit Blanche event in Paris, at the HDLU museum in Zagreb, at the Bothnian Sea National park & Finish cultural foundation in Rauma, at Quai des savoirs of Toulouse at the National Technical University of Athens, at the Arsenal in Venice, at York Art Gallery during Aesthetica Future Now and in other places through Europe.
