CAMILLE PERRY
CAMILLEPERRY2@GMAIL.COM


Camille (Cam) Perry is a queer lens-based artist who considers the industrialisation of memory reproduction
and the alchemical nature of the image. Her work engages with the complexities of identity,
and encounters with places that prompt research-driven inquiries.
Informed by her experience of working in a film developing laboratory,
Perry is fascinated with the complexity of deciphering significance in a world exhausted by images.
