Camille Pogu

Camille Pogu transforms ordinary objects and images into unstable forms that oscillate between reality and fiction. By observing and appropriating the visual and material environment that surrounds us, she creates works that shift familiar elements into unsettling yet poetic dimensions. Her universe often draws on the aesthetics of science fiction, evoking atmospheres that range from apocalyptic and disquieting to unexpectedly playful. Attentive to the ways in which objects and images are used, instrumentalized, and collectively shared, Pogu reconfigures them to question their function and symbolic charge. Through processes of distortion and recontextualization, she destabilizes their meaning and status, opening them to new interpretations. Her practice invites viewers to inhabit a zone of ambiguity where the recognizable slips into the imaginary, and where the mundane becomes charged with speculative potential. Balancing between fantasy and plausibility, her work reflects on collective imaginaries, exposing how cultural signs can be continuously re-shaped. This fluidity lends her practice a tension between fragility and intensity, producing environments that immerse audiences in a space of sensorial, conceptual, and emotional resonance. ...
