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. <img width="3821" height="2631" width_o="3821" height_o="2631" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/30879061fb87aa558cd9b71646566851740f10eb700dbe50c626a33dae8cd7d0/2023_AB_landscape-layers-in-time-1mb.jpg" data-mid="174682842" border="0" data-scale="100" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/30879061fb87aa558cd9b71646566851740f10eb700dbe50c626a33dae8cd7d0/2023_AB_landscape-layers-in-time-1mb.jpg" /> SLIDBOX_Videostill (study on archive compression) <img width="2811" height="1766" width_o="2811" height_o="1766" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/97f0ffc603ea1cd82f015d0492074e792078b58b2a69abf9e4db8e9bf8e9ded5/SLIDEBOX-videostill.jpeg" data-mid="219950554" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/97f0ffc603ea1cd82f015d0492074e792078b58b2a69abf9e4db8e9bf8e9ded5/SLIDEBOX-videostill.jpeg" /> My physical archive: forest stroll from a birds perpective <img width="3992" height="5901" width_o="3992" height_o="5901" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/30c4d96415b6bf7500afdb2fa7bff5f3e3b57f9ce2f7e986dd45f2a7e2131267/2023_Evelien-Cammaert_processing-archive.jpeg" data-mid="177650828" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/30c4d96415b6bf7500afdb2fa7bff5f3e3b57f9ce2f7e986dd45f2a7e2131267/2023_Evelien-Cammaert_processing-archive.jpeg" /> Installation for Memwa Kréyòl: Festival and exhibition curated by Anagram asbl on the relation between nature, botanical knowledge and memory. <img width="1308" height="721" width_o="1308" height_o="721" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/7ee90424a609fd2165b124fe3f377ee824572b0a3c95a339a26a352de1295f1a/IMG_3755.jpeg" data-mid="219318374" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/7ee90424a609fd2165b124fe3f377ee824572b0a3c95a339a26a352de1295f1a/IMG_3755.jpeg" /> <img width="6000" height="4000" width_o="6000" height_o="4000" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/6c78f18e7eb6d47ac86931d2d6304dccd92681254a93fe5b364ac040e9b3d957/_DSC3302.JPG" data-mid="206834448" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/6c78f18e7eb6d47ac86931d2d6304dccd92681254a93fe5b364ac040e9b3d957/_DSC3302.JPG" />“GRID” (lit, not lit, deform, like layers in painting) Study for installation consisting of digitalized slides,textile print and projection) <img width="4947" height="2519" width_o="4947" height_o="2519" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/c250d0564351303860cd4e2a0984d83cab8eca5976f11341d848398b708fa62d/2021_grids-v1-wsb-cropped.jpg" data-mid="206073410" border="0" data-scale="76" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/c250d0564351303860cd4e2a0984d83cab8eca5976f11341d848398b708fa62d/2021_grids-v1-wsb-cropped.jpg" /> BLUE PINES&nbsp;<img width="3024" height="4032" width_o="3024" height_o="4032" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/a1212d160460fd134b88dca614fb22fbc2a79414e928d2467fc394ad19994699/IMG_9558.jpg" data-mid="177678831" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/a1212d160460fd134b88dca614fb22fbc2a79414e928d2467fc394ad19994699/IMG_9558.jpg" /> <img width="5767" height="2633" width_o="5767" height_o="2633" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/82732d469f66313d0f8d452c30785190993cc9b4ca8da79b2bc278847bea6be5/archival-branches-wsb-1-cropped.jpg" data-mid="180792950" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/82732d469f66313d0f8d452c30785190993cc9b4ca8da79b2bc278847bea6be5/archival-branches-wsb-1-cropped.jpg" /> Glowachrome Duos, study on duplication <img width="5927" height="3444" width_o="5927" height_o="3444" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/ea8a07c3cfd4b8175f39f05e948355f015b8d09c7408431c71236f7c81a043bd/2021_AB_Glowachrome-Duos-.jpg" data-mid="177677957" border="0" data-scale="72" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/ea8a07c3cfd4b8175f39f05e948355f015b8d09c7408431c71236f7c81a043bd/2021_AB_Glowachrome-Duos-.jpg" /> https://eveliencammaert.com/About Fri, 28 Feb 2020 14:46:48 +0000 Evelien Cammaert https://eveliencammaert.com/About About <img width="4798" height="3487" width_o="4798" height_o="3487" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/1c0af13aef25f79c75dd926083923c7624f93472f839935b5a0914b056af1de0/evelien-bio-photo.jpg" data-mid="62232865" border="0" data-scale="61" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/1c0af13aef25f79c75dd926083923c7624f93472f839935b5a0914b056af1de0/evelien-bio-photo.jpg" /> Evelien Cammaert (Brussels, 1986) is a visual and performance artist. She studied photography (BA, Luca Brussels, Narafi, 2010) and performance (BA, MA at the Maastricht Institute of Performative Arts, 2016, 2021). From her background and studies in these disciplines grew a fascination for interactions that take place between the realities of the different media and contexts she works with. Her research focuses on the relationships between image and memory, landscape and the experiencing body and results in performances and installations, videos, prints and objects. With a focus on our perception of time and a phenomenological approach to our sensory truths, she seeks to pull herself and the viewer out of daily acceleration in her creative process and presentations. She considers deceleration as a vehicle to establish deep concentration and an inquisitive attitude. Out of her photography, she often creates dark, intimate environments and compositions in which she explores how a physical and emotional relationship can emerge with photographs and the light, colours and atmosphere they emit.

You are invited to spend time with analogue projected images and sounds in a scenography that is slowly and constantly changing.Performers operate slide projectors and make images appear, disappear and travel through space on quasi-architectural spatial elements that are reminiscent of chamber screens but equally act as filters for light and for, the projected images, which mostly seem to do their best to fade, as memories and also slides do when they exist for a long time.The environment also changes. In the in-between space, new places keep emerging, little corners and squares bare different atmospheres each time. Everywhere there are spaces for you to sit or lie down. Different levels of abstraction and recognisability, visual and audible, are placed next to, over and opposite each other. Projections show a photographed reality in picturesque images that evoke dreamy memories. The images appear alongside more abstract, graphic compositions. The narrative potential is perceptible but mostly remains unresolved in a quest for atmospheric sophistication and spatial precision.A soundtrack live created evokes its own space, with dynamic sound extracts referring to a natural environment, a landscape, a garden. As a viewer, you feel your attention meander through colour and light in a space where sounds of howling wind, synthetic crickets and a buzzing sinus tone almost bring the pictures to life. You witness a slow and meticulous compositional process. Images are carefully brought into resonance with time, space and sound, while you stroll to find new ways and places in space. The longer you walk around, sit and lie down in this garden of colour and light, the more layers, connections and aspects reveal themselves. For this installation and performance, Evelien Cammaert started from a search for places that acquire meaning through the atmosphere they breathe.The artist undertakes her creative process slowly, carefully and intuitively, travelling around, relating to the landscape in her own particular way and looking at places and photographs in an immersive way to unravel how they present themselves to her perception at that moment. It is this way of looking at the world that Evelien Cammaert wants to share with the viewer. Over a period of three years, she photographed two 35mm rolls of film of analogue slides of landscapes, gardens and houses. The choice of analogue photography reflects the deceleration in the artist's meticulous working process and in the pace of the performance to which you are also invited as a spectator. &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Credits: Concept, performance and images: Evelien Cammaert; dramaturgy, performance: Alice van der Wielen; scenography, performance: Joris Perdieus; sound design: Harpo ’t Hart; Artistic advice: Bart Van den Eynde, Meryem Bayram, Mesut Arslan, Simon Baetens; Joris Perdieus; Coproduction: Platform 0090/ C-Tact/ Workspace Brussels/ Playground Festival; residencies: C-Takt Dommelhof, wpZimmer, Performance Art Forum (PAF), Workspace Brussels; M-Leuven In collaboration with the Master in Theatre Program, Institute of Performative Arts, Maastricht (NL); Tiny Things vzw Première: November 17-20 at Playground Festival, M-Leuven&nbsp; <img width="1920" height="1280" width_o="1920" height_o="1280" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/3354096940077ecaea8dcdd1556c3dc2e9925d249972462d0b7761abb89d6abd/evelien-cammaert-Slide-image-wpZimmer-1.jpg" data-mid="62236278" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/3354096940077ecaea8dcdd1556c3dc2e9925d249972462d0b7761abb89d6abd/evelien-cammaert-Slide-image-wpZimmer-1.jpg" /><img width="6000" height="4000" width_o="6000" height_o="4000" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/9c3f52ea505cc6c76be71f189c4d4f5679bc0ca6e06b47cf8917c3eb64996133/42.jpg" data-mid="62237177" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/9c3f52ea505cc6c76be71f189c4d4f5679bc0ca6e06b47cf8917c3eb64996133/42.jpg" /> <img width="6000" height="4000" width_o="6000" height_o="4000" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/ed265506ecb65de1e7afd382815cbdd27f741dc6f9e05e8c99a6ad8ff1b21859/GG8.JPG" data-mid="115012853" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/ed265506ecb65de1e7afd382815cbdd27f741dc6f9e05e8c99a6ad8ff1b21859/GG8.JPG" /><img width="6000" height="4000" width_o="6000" height_o="4000" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/8b5deb306f8ab0bf11fe251b178b806560f78d6cd79ee5b4fdcf34392da6267a/GG7.jpg" data-mid="115012852" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/8b5deb306f8ab0bf11fe251b178b806560f78d6cd79ee5b4fdcf34392da6267a/GG7.jpg" /><img width="6000" height="4000" width_o="6000" height_o="4000" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/2ab3fa6653b7332b9bdf5a710a30be06de3dda8b85067b0350b3796f67412532/GG9.JPG" data-mid="115012854" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/2ab3fa6653b7332b9bdf5a710a30be06de3dda8b85067b0350b3796f67412532/GG9.JPG" /><img width="4800" height="2438" width_o="4800" height_o="2438" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/105da47d04d80a0a348a517a05f62928f6868573ee5689809d4fa856ba1beda8/GG1.jpg" data-mid="115012848" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/105da47d04d80a0a348a517a05f62928f6868573ee5689809d4fa856ba1beda8/GG1.jpg" /> &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; . &nbsp; https://eveliencammaert.com/Grammatica Fri, 28 Feb 2020 15:48:48 +0000 Evelien Cammaert https://eveliencammaert.com/Grammatica Grammatica /Collaboration with Joris Perdieus <img width="1920" height="1280" width_o="1920" height_o="1280" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/39e1a5ab0a2b677cfd60c37c0bba439fdf6c23d9440a891a992cda54c6cd7c51/30073484_10155963903063855_1175905082622671256_o-3.jpg" data-mid="62461248" border="0" data-scale="100" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/39e1a5ab0a2b677cfd60c37c0bba439fdf6c23d9440a891a992cda54c6cd7c51/30073484_10155963903063855_1175905082622671256_o-3.jpg" /> image: Michel De Pourcq Grammatica is an installation and performance in which various lines are plotted between the performers, the audience, the tactile qualities of the chosen materials and their interaction with light, colour, space and time. An artistic creative process unfolds on the spot, within the rules of the installation that looks like a cross between a painter's studio and a laboratory.The second dialogue starts there: the public is invited to observe the makers in this process. The virtual walls of the studio break open and it shows itself in all its vulnerability.Finally, there is the eye of the camera, which from a fixed and untouchable position draws a frame around images in which nothing indicates the presence of the makers. He sees only the tableaux that arise from matter, movement and light as an ever-changing, almost painterly but dynamic end product. This is where a third dialogue is initiated, one that has a rather inward-looking character and generates an almost meditative experience. This may allow the public an impression of what the performers themselves experience during the process.

The result is a time-warping experience. In this complex work the spectator is invited into a small space, built within a large industrial hall. Here he is presented with a video-projection consisting of photographs on the one side, a peephole with a monocular on the other. Through the hole we witness the performer as she constantly repeats the same actions and trajectory over and over again, until an image appears in the back of the hall after three hours… one that is repeated on the screen inside, as if the box were a camera obscura.

By means of photographical techniques and projections the memories of the camera and those of the performers as well as the audience are transposed and redirected into time. Evelien Cammaert attempts to trace moments from the past, relocate them and finally frame them, before they once again are swallowed by the dark. While an increasing amount of traces are left behind, images are caused to melt together with time. Lifting each other towards a new level of existence.

In the early 1990's, her father, an antique dealer of Japanese art, transformed a decayed farmhouse near Brussels into a Japanese dwelling, surrounded by a Japanese garden. He meticulously followed architectural traditions—adhering to scale, dimension, color, and material. This unique space profoundly shaped her artistic perception, awareness of architecture, light, and the relationship between culture, objects, nature, and human presence. The notion of “Strange Home” encapsulates a dual tension: the Western fascination with Japan as an exoticized aesthetic ideal versus her own intimate, affective relationship to it. This research will critically examine how projections, historical narratives, and memory intersect—questioning authenticity, inheritance, and cultural transmission. Through experimentations and developing participatory and performative strategies, Evelien Cammaert aims to investigate how different perspectives and projections around this topic trigger reflexivity and connection when brought together. <img width="1920" height="1280" width_o="1920" height_o="1280" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/0a348d513367f44a5d34d36336c0d09497f13c53760230680a9d5a4416c36a0f/strangehome2-1.jpg" data-mid="62465620" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/0a348d513367f44a5d34d36336c0d09497f13c53760230680a9d5a4416c36a0f/strangehome2-1.jpg" /> <img width="1920" height="1212" width_o="1920" height_o="1212" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/3594adf73ce2d10c798d5b2703d66934ea638256f0216f63e165596a8e3bf81a/strangehome4-1.jpg" data-mid="62465622" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/3594adf73ce2d10c798d5b2703d66934ea638256f0216f63e165596a8e3bf81a/strangehome4-1.jpg" /> <img width="1920" height="1212" width_o="1920" height_o="1212" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/e4e42cbb1bd2c2cafc2f7c878ca99b172c9c356fe265ea0947dfa9ae26494821/strangehome5-1.jpg" data-mid="62465623" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/e4e42cbb1bd2c2cafc2f7c878ca99b172c9c356fe265ea0947dfa9ae26494821/strangehome5-1.jpg" /> <img width="4013" height="1906" width_o="4013" height_o="1906" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/9d689a0f8fb11f9eeec6c19b9baca916de80652e3978bf992cf890881834597f/IMG_7746.jpeg" data-mid="251992291" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/9d689a0f8fb11f9eeec6c19b9baca916de80652e3978bf992cf890881834597f/IMG_7746.jpeg" /> <img width="768" height="1024" width_o="768" height_o="1024" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/2078307010a3c0ac2711f97fa533d3ea8ec4ff62817d46aab6d9adac24583360/F2C72CF4-4AE5-4CC3-856E-3814AD730A78_1_105_c.jpeg" data-mid="251992301" border="0" data-scale="48" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/768/i/2078307010a3c0ac2711f97fa533d3ea8ec4ff62817d46aab6d9adac24583360/F2C72CF4-4AE5-4CC3-856E-3814AD730A78_1_105_c.jpeg" />images: Evelien Cammaert
