Camille Henrot In The Veins, 2026

In The Veins is a film by Camille Henrot, completed in 2026 after five years of development. The film was presented at the New Museum in New York and at LUMA Arles, where it is installed as a video work.

The film concerns childhood, parenting, climate change and the extinction of animal species. Henrot has described animals as a recurring presence in children’s early experiences, including books, toys, songs and stories. She connects this material with the fact that many animal species are threatened or endangered.

The film includes images of children, animals and plants, alongside footage relating to environmental change. Some of the material was filmed at wildlife rehabilitation centres and shows animals receiving treatment. The work also incorporates found images and digitally produced imagery. LUMA’s documentation describes the film as drawing connections between the development of a child and the growth of animals and plants.
