It is inspired by the archaeological discovery of two Roman guard dogs once buried on the site nearly 2,000 years ago. Cami links this history to ancient ritual traditions, where real offerings gradually evolved into symbolic ones.This idea is translated into an edible biscuit that visitors are invited to break and share together. Through this simple act, the artwork becomes participatory, turning remembrance into a collective experience. In doing so, it blends folklore, local history, and social interaction into a living connection between past and present.

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.

As a member of the nightshade family —a family full of poisonous plants— the potato received little trust. Virtually every aspect of the plant inspired revulsion. This strange and terrifying plant arrived in a society where folk magic and rituals reigned supreme. Magic was part of daily life. And whether they liked it or not, they needed the potato to survive.Together, we decorated the table with magical salt patterns inspired by the sand drawings of the Kempen region. Salt, with its purifying properties, is traditionally regarded in folklore as an ingredient that wards off evil. This ceremonial act prepared us to eat the potato, with magical salt to dip them in, as if it were the very first time. During the meal, we talked about the history of the potato, folk culture in the 17th and 18th centuries, and the mysterious Bokkenrijders.

Through a series of workshops with Rotterdam residents, he explores what these jugs might look like in our contemporary society. For this project Cami collaborated with Atelier Herenplaats, Pauluskerk, Theaterwerkplaats Formaat and Stichting Mano. Zuid. Boijmans Van Beuningen commissions artists and collectives to create works that seek new connections between art, heritage and local communities. Artists are invited to work with local residents, children and organisations. The projects are participatory and based on ideas around collective learning and social practices.

Cami collaborates with local bakers who use their own, often secret, speculoos (a typical Belgian spiced biscuit) recipe to bake biscuits. The biscuit is then displayed and offered in a mobile biscuit cart. Biscuit moulds can be traced back to a pre-Christian ritual of offerings: gradually, the offering was replaced by its image baked in biscuit. For his solo exhibition RE: ANKER, Cami cut the images of three Antwerp giants into biscuit moulds: Druoon Antigoon; Pallas Athena, his wife; and Lange Wapper. According to legend, Druoon Antigoon ravaged Antwerp by demanding high tolls for passage on the River Scheldt, cutting off a hand from anyone who could not pay. Eventually, with a ruse the hero Silvio Brabo managed to cut off Antigoon’s hand and threw it into the river. This is how the city supposedly got its name, Antwerpen literally meaning hand-werpen (hand throwing). From the 15th century on, giants were driven through the city in processions and circumambulations or ommegangen. The giants symbolise power and oppression. When a new monarch ruled the city, Antigoon was used as a warning of what could happen to leaders who wanted to keep the Antwerp people under oppression.

Three songs about Antwerp and its port are sung by a group of twelve singers that are new to the Dutch language. Individually writing their own lyrics through the act of listening, they phonetically transform the original words and sounds into something new and enigmatic. Cami initiated the collaborative singing performance RE:ANKER specifically for his solo exhibition of the same name at M HKA. Entwining the connective nature of singing with the alien experience of facing a foreign language, the transformative power of interpretation is harnessed.
