Works
Grosse Fatigue
"Grosse Fatigue" is a 13 minute color video that includes videos of screens, bodies, computer desktop, and computer windows. Henrot created Grosse Fatigue during her 2013 fellowship at the Smithsonian Institution in Washington D.C.[1] The video makes use of themes such as insanity, madness, euphoria, and information overload.[2] The work was presented during the Venice Biennale, upon the invitation of curator Massimiliano Gioni. With Grosse fatigue, Henrot set herself the challenge of telling the story of the universe’s creation. The text that provides the audio component of the work was written in collaboration with Jacob Bromberg, performed by spoken word artist Akwetey Orraca-Tette, and accompanied with music was composed by Joakim.[3]
The Pale Fox
In 2014 the Chisenhale Gallery in London, in partnership with Kunsthal Charlottenborg, Copenhagen, Bétonsalon – Centre for art and research, Paris and Westfälischer Kunstverein, Münster, commissioned The Pale Fox, an exhibition comprising an architectural display system, found objects, drawing, bronze and ceramic sculpture and digital images. The exhibition consisted of architectural display systems, found objects, drawings, bronze and ceramic sculpture and digital images. The project purports to articulate our desire to make sense of the world through the objects that surround us.[4] A catalogue of the show, entitled Elephant Child, will be published in 2016 by Inventory Press and Koenig Books.[5]
"Bad Dad" series
In 2015, Camille began a series of works that ponder the nature of authority figures.[6] This series involved watercolors, interactive sculptures, and a zoetrope.[7] For an exhibition at Metro Pictures, Henrot created a number of 3D printed telephones that connect to surrealist hotlines.[8]
