It's art, but it's decoration at the same time.” ThinkingArtWallIntegratedDecorationBaroqueDomestic Life Author:Camille Henrot
“What I like about baroque is the reemergence of pre-Christian religion. The art of baroque mixes ancient pre-Christian myths with Christian imagery and each reflects upon the other.” ArtChristianAncientMythImageryBaroque Author:Camille Henrot
“For me, it's really important that the experience of art is always something that is able to provoke strong emotion, an emotion that you feel in your heart or your stomach, but also that challenges the brain at the same time. It's an experience - physical and intellectual.” FeelsHeartArtImportantAbleStrongChallengesEmotionBrainIntellectualArt IsStomachProvokingStrong Emotions Author:Camille Henrot

It's not just an advertisement with one single message that has some authority, political or not.” ShouldArtDifferentPoliticalPossibilityPerspectiveAuthorityMessagesComplexesLayersAdvertisementsDifferent Perspective Author:Camille Henrot
“Art has to maintain as large a space for interpretation as possible, and to protect itself from being too narrow.” ArtSpaceProtectInterpretation Author:Camille Henrot
