Camille Henrot’s multidimensional practice encompasses photography and video as well as sculpture and drawing. The artist invites us to renew our gaze on the objects that make up our immediate environment. Passionate about anthropology, literature, and human sciences, she is interested, through a transcultural approach, in the mythologies and beliefs that lie at the heart of the human experience.
