As she grinds pigments, sifts through references, and applies gestural strokes across multiple canvases in succession, artist Camille Henrot embraces speed and openness in her painting practice, leaving room for possibility.
This film follows Henrot as she moves fluidly between media and ideas–from her New York studio, where she mines her vast archive of images to create new paintings and drawings, to a Paris foundry, where she crafts a new body of bronze sculptures, to an edit suite where she develops her latest film, "In the Veins" (2026).
“I’m not attracted to a medium per se,” says the artist. “I’m more attracted by an idea, a way to operate, or a process.” Across her work in film, sculpture, painting, and drawing, Henrot reflects on our vast visual culture to produce a body of work that uniquely captures the speed, size, and complexity of our current moment.
