Director’s Notes with Adam Golfer | “Camille Henrot: In Movement”

Adam Golfer, the director of the short film "Camille Henrot: In Movement," reflects on the process of creating the documentary. He describes following the artist Camille Henrot over a full year in New York and Paris, capturing her wide-ranging creative process from sketches to paintings, model-making to large-scale sculptures, and the evolution of her film work.

The film offers a rare, intimate look into the artistic practice of a major contemporary figure. It matters because it documents the fluid, interdisciplinary nature of Henrot's work, which tackles complex themes like climate change and institutional archives, while highlighting the playful and tactile qualities that define her output. The director's extended access provides valuable insight into how an artist's ideas transform into finished artworks across multiple mediums.
