With her exhibition displayed in 2017 and entitled “Days are Dogs”, Camille Henrot tends to put in evidence the frustrations and the addictions of our lives, not only from a social and cultural point of view, but also through the affective and intimate relationships between individuals. The exhibition is divided into seven parts, each representing a day of the week.

The exhibition was presented at the Palais de Tokyo in Paris and each space of the venue has a day and an agenda suspended on a wall. The artist, by means of different media including sculpture, drawings, videos, frescoes, reflects upon how the various days of the week organise our relationship with time.

Sculptures and frescoes at Fondazione Memmo.

The Fondazione Memmo also hosted a series of statues in bronze and frescoes between representational and abstract, which were realised with full respect of the techniques and the themes of the French artist. Alternating frescoes in marble-dust and stucco and large sculptures in bronze, Henrot deals with the same theme, but giving life to a series of personalities which express the discomfort every man lives when realising a new week is about to start. The frescoes realised for Fondazione Memmo compose the traditional method with discovered documents, papers, small objects which allude to the creative inspiration of the artist, thus exploring the relation between action and inactivity, between ordinary and extra-ordinary.
