The Mumbai-based artist collective is interested in infrastructure and how technology, media and hardware shape our perception of the world. Long one of the more influential presences in the art scenes of the Global South, this year’s survey show at MoMA gave CAMP a platform in the North, presenting three key projects from the group’s nearly two decades of art-making, which ranges in form from a New Delhi public-access television network the group established, to a film created from hours of raw phone footage shot by sailors crossing the Indian Ocean and a vast seven-channel video installation filmed from a single Mumbai CCTV camera. This last, Bombay Tilts Down (2022), was also shown at the Museum of Contemporary Art Tokyo, while at the Singapore Biennale the group presented Metabolic Container (2025), a sculpture featuring branded cardboard boxes piled into the form of a standard shipping container. CAMP’s operations extend beyond its entity as an ‘artist’, using its studio as a residency, event and screening space, as well as hosting densely annotated online platforms that make thousands of hours of raw footage and films available for research.
