Camille Mutel: Performance and Choreography in Artpress 482

Mutel's work was notably showcased at Toulon’s Constellations #10 festival in September 2020. Drawing inspiration from butō and artists like Bill Viola, she delves into themes of eroticism and vulnerability. Among her notable pieces are 'Effraction de l'oubli', a 2010 work featuring nude movement, and 'Not I' from 2020, which reflects on tea rituals. She is also incorporating traditional rural gestures into her future creative endeavors.
