récit glissant, 2022
video installation (4 screens)
9 minute loop
Inspired by sociologist Zygmunt Bauman's theory of liquid life, in which he describes our society as a precarious world full of uncertainty that is directed by hypercapitalist consumerism, Camille Poitevin created sculptures, photographs, and video installations that imagine the daily experience of such a liquid world. In her video installation, the small rituals that make up our daily habits have become liquified. The scenes are played out by herself and represent four rooms, which show four versions of her living daily life. The screens act as surveillance screens, turning the viewer into a confused voyeur. The mise-en-scène that Camille creates represents an imaginary past, but also a future.
