Collection: Stad Antwerpen, in langdurige bruikleen in M HKA (Inv. no. SCA0061).

Ignace Cami (b. 1986, Lier) breathes new life into old things with his practice. He toys with ‘heritage’ as a concept, questioning its place in society while creating the conditions for a contemporary application of this concept. The work Nar was created as part of Cami’s research for his Koek voor Ninove project, which started from a local legend. To this end, Cami created artisanally carved speculoos boards, which local bakers used to bake this local delicacy. These speculoos boards draw on the pre-Christian custom of sacrifices, where the actual offering was replaced by a baked image as time went by.

Ignace Cami is represented by DMW Gallery.
