Camille Henrot

Camille Henrot draws on self-help, online thrift marketplaces, cultural anthropology, literature, psychoanalysis, and social media to inspire works that range from expressive, calligraphic drawings to large-scale installations and fantastical paintings. Inspired by Bambara masks from Mali, she has also made sculptures out of car parts. Throughout all her films, video animations, drawings, photographs, and more, Henrot examines globalization, ideology, the digital realm, and other sources of modern anxieties. Despite her serious subject matter, the artist’s work is often tinged with humor and charm. Henrot has exhibited in New York, Tokyo, Berlin, Paris, London, Los Angeles, and Rome. Her work has been acquired by the Guggenheim Museum, the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden, the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, the Museum of Modern Art, and the Pinault Collection.
