Camille HENROT Overlapping Figures - 2013 Bronze, plaster and wood Engraved signature, date and numbering "7/8 41 x 81 x 20 cm Bronze, plaster & wood ; engraved signature, date and numbering 16.14 x 31.89 x 7.87 in. Provenance: kamel mennour, Paris Acquired directly from the latter by the current owner FR Camille Henrot has always been fascinated by the tension between attachment and detachment. From one human being to another, but also in relation to her environment and (technological) devices. This constant tension runs through her work like a red thread. Drawing inspiration from literature, social networks, cartoons, poetry and the banality of everyday life, Henrot highlights the complexity of life in an increasingly connected and stimulating world. In her sculptural practice, Henrot is above all concerned with giving form to a state of 'in-between' in which the body is continually in transition from one situation to another, with fluctuating identities, inner conflicts and society's constant pressure to express and consume simultaneously. Her Overlapping Figures (2011) contain remnants of their own production: hammers, bricks, wooden planks, pieces of plaster, boxes, brushes and debris from other destroyed works. The worm-like bronze pieces seem to escape and recede simultaneously. in Camille Henrot Wet Job, Middelheim Museum, Antwerp, 11 June to 16 October 2022.
