2025, handmade tiles and face jugs
This project was created in collaboration with residents and clients of KOCA. The clay tiles, based on a centuries-old tradition, were created collaboratively by young people from the boarding school and adults from the day center, under the artist’s guidance. The simplified, mythical figures in the tiles took shape during an imaginative workshop and aim to inspire future visitors and residents.In front of the wall, face jugs sit on protruding pedestals. They were created by the artist as a playful reflection on the collaboration.

ABOUT

In his interdisciplinary practice, Ignace Cami (°1986, BE) takes folk culture as a starting point to make objects, sculptures, installations and writings. He thereby activates the contemporary meaning of local history.



Trained as a printmaker and sculptor, Cami started moving towards more active and social ways of distributing his projects. Each project creates a new platform for social interaction. By emphasizing familiarity in his own tender and playful way, he pushes the boundaries of performativity and storytelling.
