Ambitus, a lecture on Eternalism
Camille Clair
A lecture-performance by Camille Clair
In the framework of Dodeka, 12 Works for 12 Cantons
- –
Camille Clair performs Ambitus, a lecture on Eternalism – an understanding of time that treats the past, present, and future as equally real.
The presentation addresses material amnesia: the process by which matter is rhythmically rearranged by the pull of the present. Through an investigation of the phases of entropy, Ambitus suggests that states of assembly and disassembly are reflexive and nonlinear, forming an infinite, indeterminate lifeline.
Biography
Camille Clair is an artist and writer from Los Angeles, living in Paris. Her practice spans sculpture, image-making, and dramaturgy, with form shaped by the persona through which it is pursued. During her studies at Städelschule, Camille developed a recursive performance series that seeks to enact its own central premise: that completion is perpetually deferred and totality an anomaly. Ambitus extends from this body of work. In September 2026, she will present an original play concerning the production of a Baroque painting at the Gallery of the School of Applied Arts in Vienna.
