Adam Golfer on Filming Camille Henrot's Creative Process Over a Year

Director Adam Golfer discusses his film "Camille Henrot: In Movement," part of Art21's Extended Play series, released April 22, 2026. Shot over a full year in New York and Paris, the film captures Henrot's perpetual motion across studio, editing room, and foundry. Golfer first discovered her work through "Grosse Fatigue" (2013) in graduate school and notes her playful tactility and subtle humor even when addressing climate change, mass extinction, child rearing, or institutional archives. The extended filming allowed observation of research becoming paintings, model making translating into large-scale sculptures, and elements of her film "In the Veins" evolving into finished work.
