Camille Dumond (born in 1988) ,Lives and work in Geneva, Switzerland.

Dumond studied visual arts in Nantes and Geneva, where she graduated in 2014. She showed her first personal exhibition Pharcyde in 2015 in Quark, Geneva, and exhibited the same year at the Center for Contemporary Art in Geneva for the funds Lissignol, Chevalier and Galland. In 2016, she won a bursary from the Cantonal Fund of Contemporary Art in Geneva and shows the installation project of People’s Park in Halle Nord, following a research visit to Berkeley, California. In 2017, she organized two curatorial projects in Paris and Geneva (Firewalk – with Lou Masduraud- and Gorrh Etherwork) incorporating artists and/or collectives into a daily 360° filming device. In 2018, she exhibited in several group shows in Paris, Geneva, Zurich and New York and shows the 6 balls and the maze project with 5 other artists at the Forde space in Geneva. In 2019, she will do a 6 months residency in Berlin for the Escape Tempelhof project. The Pro Helvetia residency in Tangier will be her first residency out of Europe.

The work of Camille Dumond combines interdisciplinary proposals, and creates escape scenarios for given frames. She seeks to reverse genres, subjects, speeches through installations, short films, and sculptures. Her research concerns various topics, such as public space, storytelling, recovery process materials, feminine cinema casts. Her short films alter original given facts (story, History), and often setting the quest of outcasts.
