The giant cookie project “Koek voor Ninove”, based on the tradition of cookie board cutting, was designed for Ninove’s “KRASJ5” biennial. To convey a local legend of the town Ninove the design and the recipe were made to symbolize the main two characters. The oversized cookie, in the  shape of a donkey with a carrot in its belly, is cut in small pieces presented to the public on a cart. Each visitor can take and eat a part of the bigger picture, transforming the image and absorbing the story.

For this project I collaborated with Bakkerij Koen De Boeck in Ninove (BE).


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.
