about this work
Light Catch – part of a new, still-evolving body of work — continues Camille Orso Caël (previously Camille Picquot) ’s exploration of light, and the city as a space for coincidence, magic, and transformation. In the image, a pair of hands appears mid-motion, trying to catch something. For years, Camille Orso Caël has been documenting hand gestures – fascinated by their sensual, tactile expressiveness – and this photo continues that thread: warm, moving hands set against a cold, hard backdrop. Light is not merely a tool of illumination here, but a protagonist in itself – symbolic, physical, almost spiritual. The image shifts between clarity and blur, surface and suggestion. A key, visible only in shadow, offers a subtle, poetic clue. There’s a trance-like stillness in the movement, as if the moment were caught between instinct and intention, like a glimpse from a dream or a forgotten vision.
This edition is the very same print you can see pasted in public space as part of our PLAKT series. We saved 15 pristine copies to present as a limited edition – signed and numbered by the artist.
about Camille Orso Caël
The work of Camille Orso Caël (previously Camille Picquot) is situated at the intersection of the visible and the invisible, where reality and imagination meet. Through series of photos and films, they play with the dynamics between fiction and documentary. They intertwine the two, creating a story in which you never know what is true and what is not.
Camille Orso Caël presents their photos in series that gradually develop from photographic experiments, spontaneous snapshots, staged images, and as a reflection on the text they write about and with these images. It is difficult to conceptualise the development of these series. Some of their images arise autonomously while others are carefully constructed. It is only after there is a large number of images that Picquot brings them together. Then they rethink what the images mean, how they form a whole, and what is missing from that whole.
