Camille Dumond is an interdisciplinary artist based in Geneva. Her work frequently blends real and fictional elements, spanning film, sculpture, and installation to explore themes of territory, labor, and the circulation of cultural references. Her narratives, situated at the intersection of personal stories and socio-political issues, examine how places and structures shape individual identities, often touching on the theme of belonging. Her work has been shown in Switzerland and internationally, including at Centre d’art contemporain de Genève, Palais de l’Athénée, EAC les Halles, Unanimous Consent, CAN – Centre d’Art de Neuchâtel, Biennale de Saint Flour, FRAC des Pays de la Loire, Le Cube - independant art room, Glassbox. Between 2016 and 2020, she completed artist residencies in Paris, Marseille, Berlin, and Rabat. Since 2020, she has been coordinating an editorial project entitled Entretiens pour un film, which addresses a filmmakers practice and the boundary between reality and fiction in their filmed territories. Since 2018, she has worked in collectives focused on the professional conditions of art workers in Switzerland and France.
