Introduction

Camille Henrot's work has been enormously influential on contemporary art. Over more than twenty years of activity, her impact can be traced in new approaches across media and artistic practices. The wide range of inspirations that informs her vision spans literature, second-hand marketplaces, poetry, cartoons, manga, social media, self-help, and, ultimately, the banality of everyday life. Henrot is interested in systems of rules, structures and codes of conduct – and how to break them. Her practice speaks with clarity and humor, humility and bravery, about the complexity of being a private individual and citizen in a globalized and overstimulated world.⁠
