You might not ever learn all the secrets of the universe, but you sure will be inspired to try when Berlin-based contemporary artist Camille Henrot hits NGV International with her latest showcase of compelling works.

Running from June 25–January 30, the free exhibition Camille Henrot: Is Today Tomorrow embraces the artist's signature playful approach to asking and answering life's big questions, centred on the idea of what it means to be a private individual and a global subject, simultaneously.

Among the featured works, you'll find Henrot's large-scale installation The Pale Fox 2014 — an accompaniment to the artist's 2013 short film Grosse Fatigue, which won the Silver Lion at the 55th Venice Biennale. The room-sized work features a sprawling collection of over 500 artefacts, including photos, books, Henrot's own art projects, and bits and pieces from Ebay, as a reflection on how we use objects to help make sense of the world.

Elsewhere, an interactive collection of telephone sculptures will have you answering quirky questions — be prepared for probing questions about your sex life — from an unknown caller. And you'll also discover a newer series of works on paper that have never been exhibited before.
