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. Entwining the connective nature of singing with the alien experience of facing a foreign language, the transformative power of interpretation is harnessed.\u003c/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eAt various times during the exhibition, the choir performs in the museum room in specially designed \u003cem\u003ecostumes\u003c/em\u003e that refer to sailor cloths. The folk songs were also recorded and are available on vinyl record. One of the songs is about the giant Lange Wapper, a tormentor who, according to the numerous legends from Antwerp, can change shape and chase drunkards and adulterous husbands at night. Popularly, Lange Wapper is said to be the reason why so many small statues of the Virgin Mary have been placed on fa\u0026ccedil;ades in the centre of Antwerp \u0026mdash;since the giant cannot bear to look at her image. Indeed, the statues always appear at first floor level, at eye height with the giant.\u003c/p\u003e\r\n"},{"locale":"nl","short_description":"","description":"\u003cp\u003eIgnace Cami stelt een nieuw koor samen en initieert de zangperformance RE:ANKER speciaal voor zijn gelijknamige tentoonstelling in het M HKA. Een groep zangers die nieuw zijn in de Nederlandse taal zingt drie volksliederen over Antwerpen en zijn haven. Ze schrijven elk hun eigen tekst door te luisteren en de oorspronkelijke woorden en klanken fonetisch te vervormen. Zo ontstaat er iets nieuws en enigmatisch. Cami verweeft hier het verbindende aspect van samen te zingen met de bevreemdende ervaring van geconfronteerd te worden met een andere taal. Daardoor krijgt de vertolking een transformatief karakter.\u003c/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eOp verschillende momenten tijdens de tentoonstelling treedt het koor op in de museumzaal in speciaal ontworpen \u003cem\u003ekostuums\u003c/em\u003e die refereren aan kledij van zeelieden. De liederen werden ook opgenomen en zijn beschikbaar op vinylplaat. Een van de volksliederen gaat over de reus Lange Wapper, een kwelgeest die volgens de talrijke sagen uit Antwerpen van gedaante kan verwisselen en \u0026rsquo;s nachts dronkaards en overspelige echtgenoten achtervolgt. Volgens de legende zou Lange Wapper de reden zijn waarom er zoveel Mariabeeldjes op de gevels in het centrum van Antwerpen zijn aangebracht, aangezien de kwelgeest haar beeltenis niet kan verdragen.
