Camille Henrot and Estelle Hoy: Jus d'Orange

Nero, 2023, hardcover, 96 pages, 24 x 17 cm

Jus d’Orange is a dialogue between Camille Henrot’s images and Estelle Hoy’s texts, a visual and verbal exploration of melancholy, failure, injustice, and hope.

Since late 2021, the artists, united by a close friendship, have been sharing hundreds of images and exchanging thousands of messages via WhatsApp, Instagram, shared Google Docs, voice messages, and live conversations. Result of this correspondence, Jus d’Orange includes a series of Henrot’s paintings inspired by Hoy’s texts and vice versa.

This editorial project, developed together with the artists, is thus a homage to this mutual and continual contamination between their works, and to the personal and professional relationship between them.
