“Insularity is isolation. Islandness is rupture; a broken link with the rest of the world and therefore a space outside of space, a place outside of time, a bare place, an absolute place.There are degrees of “islandness”, but the stronger the isolation is, the more the rupture is strong or felt as such. This is what dreams are made of.” - Joël Bonnemaison (1990).

Camille works took on a new dimension there, worked by ility; since an island is as much a place of withdrawal as a space of tension, where humidity and silence confront the emergencies of the world. There is therefore a double dimension in Camille's work: a dreamlike part, where the bodies seem to aspire to desires of evanescence, melted into the nourishing material of the Ocean, and, implicitly, a testimony of a beauty lost, in these spaces ravaged by climatic disorder and the thirst for tourism.
