Mumbai-based collaborative studio CAMP, founded in 2007, creates acclaimed works across video, film, digital media, and public art forms.
Surveillance and news media both shape and reveal how we live in the world today. Bombay Tilts Down, 2022 is a seven-channel video using CCTV from a 35-floor building in South-Central Mumbai while the installation, A Photogenetic Line, 2019 uses carefully cropped photographs from the archives of The Hindu newspaper. CAMP interrogates the cycle and power of media sources. Their works turn our gaze to the ever-present cameras that surround us and the tension they produce.
Bombay Tilts Down was commissioned by The Nam June Paik Centre and Kochi-Muziris Biennale.
