"The Pale Fox, the expansive installation building on Camille Henrot’s previous project, Grosse Fatigue (2013), deliberately sets out to overwhelm and overtax the viewer. The sheer number of objects, the concentration of the stories behind them, the splicing of different disciplines from the most diverse fields of knowledge, competing principles of classification and, not least, the sensory experience within the space itself, blanketed in an atmospheric, endlessly looped soundtrack (composed by Joakim Bouaziz) and the brilliant azure of the walls and the floor, coalesce en masse to demonstrate the excesses of an unbridled urge to collect and horde, an excessive, almost pathologically compulsive desire for order, which ultimately is condemned to spill over once more to create its own disorder."
