CAMILLE HENROT: SATURDAY

About the talk

Whether you spend your weekend praying, surfing or taking your dog for a walk, it is only during the moment of rest that you gain strength and hope, such is the statement of Henrot’s film 'Saturday'. The artist explains why understanding communities such as the Seventh-Day Adventist is so instructive and emphasizes her anthropological and ethnological approach. The screening of the film is followed by the artist's talk and a lively Q&A session on the purpose of Henrot's practice, the filmmaking process and the attempt of creating an unprejudiced document.

“To be able to hope, you need to be able to project in the future. And to be able to project in the future, you need the secret ingredient: rest. What you need is time. Time off, actually.”

— Camille Henrot
