Camille Guichard presents 'Corps littoral' (Coastal Bodies), her first solo exhibition in Paris, at the Rachel Hardouin Gallery from May 21 to June 21, 2026. The show blends contemporary photography, poetic texts, and the artist's own nude body against coastal landscapes, exploring themes of vulnerability, erosion, and the relationship between the body and the living world. Guichard, who also works as a filmmaker and writer, includes series such as 'Ces rivages perdus' documenting the Aquitaine coast and 'Pulsions, corps et figures' focusing on bodily fragments.
The exhibition matters because it offers a nuanced, intimate perspective on the male body outside conventional codes of strength and virility, while also addressing ecological themes of coastal erosion and memory. As Guichard's first solo show in Paris, it marks a significant moment in her multidisciplinary career, connecting contemporary photography with broader conversations about nature, identity, and how we inhabit the world.
