Camille Gharbi is a French photographer and visual artist.
Her practice is related to contemporary social topics such as gendered violence, social justice, migration issues. She places engagement at the core of her practice, often developing sustained collaboration with her subjects. Gharbi's photographic approach is based on long term researches, along with a physical and psychological immersion in situ. Halfway between documentary and fine-art photography, her works question the world we live in by playing with distance and aesthetics to induce empathy.
She considers art as a vehicle for social transformation.
Her series take us towards a politicisation of the gaze, through the intimate and the subjective.
Gharbi's series have been selected to be part of European and international exhibitions, such as FOTORIO in Rio de Janeiro (2023), PHOTOCLIMAT BIENNAL in Paris (2023), IMAGESINGULIERES (2022), Festival CIRCULATION(S) in Paris (2019), Nuit des Images at PHOTOELYSEE in Lausanne (2019), Nuit de l’Année at RENCONTRES D'ARLES (2019), PHOTO IS:RAEL in Tel-Aviv (2019), LENS CULTURE EMERGING TALENT AWARD exhibition in New-York (2018), ARTE LAGUNA PRIZE in Venice (2018). She is the winner of the FIDAL YOUTH PHOTOGRAPHY AWARD 2018, the BBA PHOTOGRAPHY AWARD 2021, and a finalist of the LENS CULTURE EMERGING TALENT AWARD 2018.
