Summary
Since its foundation in Mumbai in 2007, CAMP has produced film and video projects using surveillance, TV networks, and digital archives to examine how we navigate and record the world.
Its first significant exhibition in the United States is now on show at the Museum of Modern Art and comprises three video projects that span two decades of work by the studio.
Included in the exhibit are two works by the artists that used CCTV and cellphone footage, respectively, to offer an alternative perspective on how we record and engage with the world.
Also included in the show is a work called From Gulf to Gulf to Gulf, which profiles sailors traversing the Indian Ocean using footage largely shot on cellphone cameras.
The artists discuss the significance of keeping an open digital archive and how material that is not included in the final cut of a film can often be the most revealing.
The exhibit at the Museum of Modern Art runs until July 20.
