Angebote / Angebote:

With a diverse creative practice combining film, drawing and sculpture, and taking inspiration from subjects as varied as literature, mythology, cinema, anthropology, evolutionary biology, religion and the banality of everyday life, Camille Henrot acutely reconsiders the status and meaning of objects and established systems of knowledge. This volume-edited by Dr. Simon Maidment, NGV Senior Curator of Contemporary Art, and the first major monograph on Henrot-features key works by the artist from the beginning of her career up to 2020, including a group of new works on paper, and imagery from the immersive work The Pale Fox, 2014, and the widely exhibited Grosse Fatigue, 2013. The more than 200 images featured in this volume illuminate the enormous diversity and potency of Henrot's oeuvre. The images are accompanied by extensive new scholarship on the artist by a range of voices: Dan Fox, Shanay Jhaveri, Clara Meister, Jane Devery, and Pip Wallis. Increasingly poignant in this period of global reflection on human communication and human isolation, the work of Camille Henrot encourages us to reflect deeply on existence, in all its shades.
