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.

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.
