Hotspot

(balls of paper °2021)

This in-situ work is based on the idea that a specific, prominent place in the exhibition space houses the stories of all the works of art that have been shown here over the past ten years. It is their story – however personally interpreted, inadequately remembered, passed on in fragmentary fashion – that survives their presentation. With “Hotspot” Cami feeds into those multi-layered narratives. He made brief descriptions of thirteen works that were previously shown here. These new linguistic representations stimulate the imagination, thus demonstrating at the same time the power, but also the impotence of language in all its ambiguity. That inadequacy is also reflected in their shape. Cami crumpled the descriptions, which he had gallery owner Veerle Wenes write in her elegant handwriting in fountain pen. As a reference to failed attempts, they nevertheless remain, after being read by visitors, on the hotspot of the gallery, elevated to final, fragile works of art.
