Artist Camille Henrot: "I did everything I could not to become an artist" | Louisiana Channel

Camille Henrot didn't plan to be an artist. She began her career in advertising but quickly realized it was too rigid, lacking space for nuance and ambivalence. So she started making her own experimental films on the kitchen table, drawing on old 35mm film. "I think ultimately I wanted to become a film director, but the classic narrative, theater-inspired model of cinema wasn't very interesting for me," Camille Henrot reflects.
