As one of the most influential artists in Sweden in the postwar period, Ekman was both part of Swedish pop and the rebellious underground in the ’60s and ’70s. She created a unique body of proto-feminist work, which draws equally from the playful imagination of a young woman and popular culture in the social welfare state.

Summary:
Monographie de référence : un parcours complet, sur près de 10 ans, de l'œuvre de l'artiste française récompensée du Lion d'argent à la 55e Biennale de Venise, en quelque 400 images, avec deux essais et un entretien. D'abord reconnu pour ses vidéos et films d'animation qui mêlent dessin, musique et images cinématographiques, parfois grattées ou retravaillées, le travail de Camille Henrot (née en 1978, vit et travaille à Paris) brouille les catégories traditionnellement hiérarchiques de l'histoire de l'art. Ses dernières œuvres, qui se déclinent sous forme de sculptures, dessins, photographies, et toujours films, traitent de la fascination exercée par l'ailleurs et par l'autre (géographique, mais aussi sexuel), fascination reprise dans les mythes populaires modernes dont s'inspire Camille Henrot. Les objets hybrides, impurs, de l'artiste jettent un doute sur l'écriture linéaire et cloisonnée de l'histoire occidentale, et soulignent sa part d'emprunts et ses zones d'ombres.
