Its cold and endless concrete walls reach the skyline in various directions, and the roughly rendered box in its very middle emits low, erratic frequencies. As you make your way around the cubic structure a small narrow opening guides you into an explosion of regal cobalt blue.<\/p>\n<p class=\"size--small\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-24378\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/CHE_Exhi_St.-Agnes_2015_photo-Ulf-Saupe-37.jpg\" alt=\"Camille Henrot, The Pale Fox, 2014 - 15, Installation view at K\u00d6NIG GALERIE.

Visually mapping the ideas of evolution, starting with the Big Bang through to the birth of humankind, as we know it and beyond. The title \u201cPale Fox\u201d is taken from the Dogon religion. The African myth says pale fox was born from the first mating of Amma and Mother Earth. All other divine children were born as fraternal twins, male and female. Pale fox became the symbol of loneliness, having no female counterpart he produced chaos and madness with the imbalance bestowed upon him throughout the world.<\/p>\n<p>Early on in the collection huge ostrich eggs sit in Scandinavian minimally designed showcases, scientific chlorophyll thumbnails act as background images to traditional African sculptures; sparse yet refined. Slick aluminum shelves stand empty purely object-based while marble structures step in as substitute bookcases. \u00a0Flip folders, filled with models showing off their sunburns and bikini lines, allow the viewer to idly flip through what could be the pin-ups of the future, or not.<\/p>\n<p class=\"size--small\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-24375\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/CHE_Exhi_St.-Agnes_2015_photo-Ulf-Saupe-9.jpg\" alt=\"Camille Henrot, The Pale Fox, 2014 - 15, Installation view at K\u00d6NIG GALERIE.

The birth of internet communication seems the most chaotic part of the timeline, exploding piles of images clutter the heavy cobalt carpet, kitsch digital photo frames with eBay sales and the ingenious double egg cup fade in and out, models in wheelchairs and the retro post-human imagery of David Watson all make up an already nostalgic collection of our time.<\/p>\n<p class=\"size--small\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-24377\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/CHE_Exhi_St.-Agnes_2015_photo-Ulf-Saupe-29.jpg\" alt=\"Camille Henrot, The Pale Fox, 2014 - 15, Installation view at K\u00d6NIG GALERIE.

And that has got her attention and criticism for her\u00a0statements of &#8220;positive primitivism\u201d. As you walk around the room some of the shapes pull you into the works, slick smooth lines of silver or bronze but the next minute you\u2019re coming across spirals and fake breasts next to game cards of Arnold Schwarzenegger in \u201cTerminator\u201d. Yet all the objects seem to be producing culture, and us. &#8220;This is our world, we are the great and almighty creators!&#8221; \u2013 they scream, but also show us how ephemeral life is, how dated we are. A \u201cto do\u201d and a \u201cto do later\u201d lists sit unused amongst images of Stonehenge at sunset, frolicking arctic foxes and a gorilla portrait that tell us to rate it from one to ten on quality. It seems clear \u201cthe pale fox\u201d is still wandering the earth, simultaneously creating chaos and destroying but the viewer is impotent to stop this overhaul of imagery and production. For better or worse, we are all pale foxes in this perplexing place we know as planet Earth.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"size--small\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-24382\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/CHE_Exhi_St.-Agnes_2015_photo-Ulf-Saupe-72.jpg\" alt=\"Camille Henrot, The Pale Fox, 2014 - 15, Installation view at K\u00d6NIG GALERIE.
