  • Camille Henrot. Elephant Child

    Originated during an Artist Research Fellowship at the Smithsonian Institution, which laid the ground­work for her 2013 video Grosse Fatigue and the sub­se­quent instal­la­tion The Pale Fox (2014–15), Elephant Child rep­re­sents the cul­mi­na­tion of a long-term inquiry into the human effort to make the uni­verse com­pre­hen­sible. The book con­tains an orig­inal text by Henrot written with Clara Meister and Michael Connor, doc­u­men­ta­tion, sketches, and research mate­rials. An inter­view between Henrot and social anthro­pol­o­gist Monique Jeudy-Ballini offers insight into Henrot’s char­ac­ter­istic approach of knowl­edge pro­duc­tion and orga­ni­za­tion. Ultimately, the book is an object of high uni­ver­salist ambi­tion—de­void of authority, cre­ating instead a vivid pris­matic image of the realm of thought.
