Katia Kameli

Katia Kameli is a French-Algerian artist. Following her studies at the Academy of Fine Arts, Vienna, she graduated from the Ecole Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-Arts in Bourges in 2000. She received a postgraduate degree in New Media in 2003 from the Ecole Supérieure des Beaux-Arts in Marseille. Kameli’s work is closely linked to her personal experience of dual identities, exploring multiplicity and the ‘in-between’. Through video, photography, installation, she investigates intercultural spaces, intersecting identities and their construction. Thus, she positions herself as a hybrid, using a ‘third space’ that enables the emergence of other visions, forms and positions. This ‘third space’ questions historical accounts and can generate a critical stance that allows for the rewriting of hegemonic narratives. Her work has found an audience and gained recognition on the international artistic and cinematographic scene and she participated in numerous solo and group exhibitions. Her work is part of the following collections: Musée national d’art moderne / Centre Georges Pompidou (Paris), CNAP, Centre National des Arts Plastiques (Paris), FRAC Hauts-de-France (Dunkerque), FRAC Poitou-Charentes (Angoulême) et FRAC PACA (Marseille), BPS22 (Charleroi).
