Camille Vivier also works on independent artistic projects with a strong focus on the female body, challenging the preconceptions about masculinity and femininity, expressing a kind of eroticism we are not so used to look at.
In 2019, she released two books: “TWIST “and “SOPHIE”, both published by Art Paper Editions.
TWIST (2019) is an encounter between curved, nude female bodies with avant-garde, anthropomorphic sculptures.
“SOPHIE” is a complex portrait of a female body, conceived as a vessel of power and beauty and not as an object of desire. Sophie’s body turns into a stage expressing a range of various female characters and feelings.
