Camille Ross explores the inherent values of the male Gaze as she poses herself as both artist/model /subject to explore themes of “looking” and being the recipient of the male gaze, which she flips on its head and inverts the history of looking and being looked at by her use of modern day tropes. She uses renaissance paintings, the history of art and herself as muse in the praxis of Scopic desire and voyeuristic pleasure. Ross works with masters such as Da Vinci, Caravaggio and Titian. Later in her career, Ross’s work would become acquired by the Caravaggio Museum of Art for their permanent collection. These images are all analogue work, and toned with speciality toners created in the artist’s darkroom. © 2001, 2025
