Since 2021, Cammaert has developed a research practice titled Archival Branches, which explores the layered roles and and resonances of the archive within (her) artistic practice(s). This research questions the traditional and institutional logic of the archive, aiming to turn archival thinking inside out by infusing it with vitality, aesthetic experience, memory, storytelling, and exchange.
Archival Branches serves as a rhizomatic structure for diverse outcomes—such as creating new works from archived photographic material, conducting workshops, collaborating with artists, institutions, and art academies, and engaging in exhibitions, interviews, and theoretical research
On this page Archival Branches takes the digital form of a practice for recycling past visual material into the creation of new work.
It is a dynamic platform where forgotten images, text and other objects can come to life and relate to each other and to this digital and public environment.
At times, the page will be almost empty, showing just one photograph. At other the page takes the form of a blog, displaying associative images, ideas and research.
