ABOUT THE ARTISTS
 
CAMILLE BRÉE
 
Camille Brée (b. 1992, FR) is a Paris-based artist and an active member of DOC!, a self-managed space dedicated to artistic production and dissemination in Paris.
 
Brée’s practice explores the physical specificities of places through sculpture, creating forms that shape interactions with the body. She focuses on peripheral spaces, investigating presence and apparition. Often incorporating light, shadow, and transparency, her work challenge conditions of visibility while shifting the viewer’s perception.
Her work has recently been exhibited at Le Théâtre Scène Nationale de Mâcon (2024, Mâcon, FR), Frac Île-de-France Le Plateau (2023, Paris), Omstand (2023, Arnhem, NL), Image/Imatge (2023, Orthez, FR), TONUS (2023, Paris), Galeria Madragoa (2022, Lisbon), Des Bains Gallery (2022, London), Château Jolimont (2022, Brussels), CAPC (2022, Bordeaux). She is currently a resident at Gasworks, supported by Fluxus Art Projects (2025, London).
 
ZHUO MENGTING
 
Zhuo Mengting (b. Guangzhou, China, 1990) composes situations with site, sound, body and time, in the forms of performance, participatory installation, and concerts. Often minimalist, subtle and intimate, her work invites the audience to investigate the capacities and limits of social relations.
 
Employing live performance as a means to explore the contingent interplay between performer and audience, she has made encounters with audiences in theatres, galleries and other spaces, including public spaces, abandoned buildings, residential accommodation, and online.
Her work has been presented internationally, including the Tai Kwun Contemporary, Hong Kong, Shanghai PSA, China, MAO Torino, Italy, Frieze London, esea contemporary, Manchester and venues and organisations in Germany, Netherlands, Czech Republic and Slovakia.
 
SEO HYE LEE
 
Seo Hye Lee (she/her) is a London based South Korean deaf artist. Drawing on her personal experience of hearing loss and of being a cochlear implant user, Seo Hye explores a world of sound and silence through the mediums of drawing, moving image, and multi-sensory installation.
 
Recent works include her moving image piece Portland Forecast, which examines the use of captions in different access modes, Many Shapes of Volumes, which explores the physical nature of sound, and How Loud Is Too Loud?, which investigates the use of AI in hearing technology. In her work, Seo Hye aims to promote the use of accessibility and collaboration, frequently finding inspiration in the collective and individual experience of sound.
 
Her recent selected group exhibitions include: In a Manner of Speaking in Blackwood Gallery (2025), Towards New Worlds at MIMA (2024), Object Sensations in Tangled Art + Disability (2024), and AI: Who’s Looking After Me? At Science Gallery (2024).
