Summary
"'Elephant Child' is a natural extension of the artistic practice of New York-based French artist Camille Henrot. 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 character istic approach of knowledge production and organization. Ultimately, the book is an object of high univeralist ambition - devoid of authority, creating instead a vivid prismatic image of the realm of thuoght."
"In this hybrid artist book/exhibition document, Henrot reconsiders source material and ideas discovered and developed during her Artist Research Fellowship at the Smithsonian Institution in 2012".
