Price Upon Request
Family Life, 2020, is a limited edition lamp by artist Camille Henrot, published by Lisa Ivorian-Jones for the New Museum. Camille Henrot’s lamp is comprised of four vignettes of domestic life captured at different hours of the day. Centered on the idea of the hearth and the warmth of home, the piece explores the bedroom as both a mental and physical space that we long for—and also as the place of our worst nightmares.
Family Life (2020) brings together the contrasting feelings of fear and security into a gorgeous, functional object.
While the design is partially visible during the daytime, part of the imagery is revealed only at night, when the lamp is turned on. This unique design is achieved through a complex printing process that mimics traditional watermarking.
