Camille Meisner
About
Camille Meisner (b.1995) is a London based visual artist from Paris, France. She graduated from the University of the Arts London with a BA specialising in fine art photography and a BA from UCLA in Film studies.
Within her practice, she uses photography, installation, moving images and audio to create her artwork. Her practice questions the status of women in society and focuses on reality and how it’s perceived by herself and others. She explores the female gaze and how she can apply it to her work and how to better represent women, their lives, experiences, concerns and anxiety.
During her time at the MA photography at the RCA, she focused on the theme of mental health in young women and explored the idea of expanded photography and its place in contemporary art.
Her project ‘Emergence’, is an installation consisting of a 3D printed self portrait, audio sounds and a projection. The work touches on the struggle of living with panic attacks inspired by her own mental illness. It invites the viewer to come up close to the sculpture to confront anxiety via a pair of headphones pluggable into the sculpture to listen to different sounds conveying what happens to the head, heart and chest during an attack.
