Némo Camus, Biography : Némo Camus is a French artist born in 1994, who lives and works in Brussels. After a degree in film theory and a Master’s in sociology, he turned to sound creation and trained at INSAS. His work, strongly rooted in the practice of sound recording, investigates the back-and-forth between fieldwork and speculative approach, focusing on notions of trace, clue and tremor. He is specifically interested in the entanglement and gaps between intimate narrative and historical document in the context of contemporary memorial issues. His work takes the form of radio creations, sound installations, performances, texts and films. For performance and visual arts, he collaborates with Pélagie Gbaguidi, On-Trade-Off, Joëlle Sambi, Esther Mugambi, Robson Ledesma, Aïssatou Ciss, Sophie Sherman and Davide Tidoni. His work has recently been presented at GMEM in Marseille, iMAL in Brussels, Framer Framed in Amsterdam, the Biennale de Dakar and the Bienal Internacional de Dança do Ceará in Fortaleza, Brazil. He teaches sound creation workshops at the Université Paris 8.
