Flutist originally from Trois-Rivières and trained at the University of Montreal, Camille works in contemporary art, both visual and musical.
Based in Saguenay, she is a cultural mediator and project manager at the current art center Langage Plus and is artistic director of the intersectorial art-science organization Génération DaVinci, in addition to being active on the various new music scenes in Quebec.
As an artist, Camille has a strong inclination for interdisciplinary experimental creation. Although classically trained, the flautist does not hesitate to exploit objects, the voice or electronic processing in her sound explorations. Her projects favor spontaneous music and transdisciplinary projects where the musicians play an active role of co-creator, based on active listening and flexibility. Her process exploits a narrative frame where symbolic intuition and improvisation occupy a preponderant place. Inspired by the concepts of the collective unconscious and that of synchronicity[1], the art of trivia and anecdote, just like the exploitation of everyday objects, become powerful relational tools and perfect creative subterfuges.
In this art-mediation, performance always interferes a little. Through participatory processes, it embraces risk-taking, distributing power between watched/watching. By involving the spectator, she becomes an actor of her own change of perception. By this link, she is invited to live the dialogic experience sometimes even in solo and, by common gestures, transform the relationship to the work into an automedial test.
Since 2021, she has been pursuing a collective project Tendancielle, with Isabelle Clermont. Their artistic approach is that of an artist-collective with a shared and transdisciplinary authorship. You will be able to discover them in May at FIMAV 2023.
