Camille Auclair, a British/French artist based in
Mexico City since 2018, draws inspiration from a
personal, ethical sensitivity to human relationships
with the planet. Her work delves into the experience of
inhabiting a human body, exploring how the expedient
commodification of natural resources impacts human
relations, creativity, spirituality, and overall well-being.
Her exploration focuses on the intertwined aspects
of human existence: the physical body and the
consciousness. She delves into experiences of
disembodiment and dissociation, probing their impact
on relationships with non-human ecosystems.
Rooted in spiritual concepts like Anima Mundi, Camille
challenges the anthropocentric idea of community,
advocating for its expansion to include all organisms
and environments. Through drawings, paintings, and
textiles, she aims to repair the broken relationships
between human and non-human worlds. Collaboration
is key to her work, especially her long-term partnership
with Maestro Tito Mendoza Ruiz, a woven textiles
artisan in Teotitlán Del Valle, Oaxaca, Mexico.
She holds a BFA in Textile Design from Central Saint
Martins, University of the Arts, London.
