Camille Henrot's exhibition at Hauser & Wirth, titled 'A Number of Things', captivates visitors with its unique floor design and a collection of sculptures that interrogate the relationships of care we form with pets. The exhibition features an innovative green rubber floor and 10 sculptures of dogs, each tethered and distinct, prompting reflections on responsibility and emotional attachment. Henrot's pieces, crafted from various materials, display an intriguing blend of artistic styles, highlighting the nuances of caregiving. Through her art, Henrot skillfully navigates deep themes without becoming overly instructional, showcasing her ability to provoke thought through playful aesthetics.
Henrot has devised a surface of wall-to-wall green rubber overpainted with the crisscrossing lines of a modernist grid, creating a playful yet sophisticated atmosphere.
Opposite the entrance to the gallery, a visitor encounters 10 smallish sculptures of dogs, each on a store-bought leash and tethered to a central pole.
