L. Camus-Govoroff (b. 1997) lives and works between Paris and Normandy. They studied at HfG Karlsruhe and NODE Center Berlin, and graduated from ENSAD Paris in 2021.
Their practice unfolds through installation, sculpture, performance and writing, exploring liminal spaces, bodily and material porosity, and forms of transition. Their research draws upon hydrofeminism, queer anthropology, interspecies relationships and forms of sacrality, considering how bodies, materials and environments are entangled. Abandoned places and wastelands hold an important place in their work, as spaces where traces, ruins and lingering presences can give rise to alternative narratives and processes of transformation.
Their installations are conceived as environments to be physically experienced, engaging the senses through movement, sound, touch, smell and light. Their practice brings together materials such as steel, textiles, ceramics, glass and found objects, alongside performance and writing. Recent work with stained glass and blown glass has opened a field of research around transparency, fragility and the circulation of light.
Since 2019, they have been involved in the collective Alien She, founded by Cléo Farenc. The collective develops curatorial projects, audiovisual productions and Alien School, an educational programme preparing teenagers and young adults for entrance examinations to art schools. They also work independently as a curator and teach at the École des Beaux-Arts Nantes Saint-Nazaire.
