Camille Belmin is an artist, researcher and lecturer in environmental social sciences. Her scientific practice focuses on sustainability transitions and societal perceptions of them, population-environment-gender issues, and narratives of environmental and social transformation. She works mainly at the International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis. In her artistic practice, she likes to collaborate with metabolic processes, from composting to fermentation, to the complex and beautiful realm of social metabolism. She is also interested in finding new (and provocative) ways to communicate about the ecological crises through artistic approaches. She works with photography, found object installations and textiles, often allowing the serendipity of biological processes to intervene in her work. She is in continuous search for bringing (her) worlds of science and art together.
