Camille Henrot's largest Scandinavian solo show opens at Copenhagen Contemporary
Copenhagen Contemporary opens Paper Planes, Camille Henrot's largest solo exhibition in Scandinavia, on 5 June. The show features the Scandinavian premiere of her new film In the Veins, already called "an instant classic" by Art in America, alongside major installations from the past decade and new sculptures and drawings. Henrot's practice spans film, painting, bronze, drawing, sculpture, and installation. The exhibition explores counterfactual, non-linear thinking as a way to cope with contemporary existence, drawing on the childlike ability to see a piece of paper as a bird, map, weapon, or plane—a mode of processing that is open, risk-taking, and alive to potentialities.
