The design for the cookie board 'ECHO III: The 'Some Say' Cycle' is a speculative text about the origins of the "first" story, the primordial myth, and how it came about. The rumours suggest three possible narratives to explain that very first one.
The cookie board shows the mirrored text, which will only become readable in the shape of an oversized cookie. The cookie, in turn, begs to be eaten by the visitors. Parts of the content disappear and the meaning is lost until it reappears in a new anew.

The cookie was baked by Chocolatier Pas based on a secret family recipe.



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.

 

He also ran the artist run CRYING space with Ward Zwart and is a part of collaborative projects like Haas & Gaai, Boris & Kitchenknife and Nestvlieders.
