Holydays

Holy days, deserved rest, dream destination, holiday films, all photographs are alike. Fantasized escape, wandering the city, disappointing tour operator package. A crack at the foot of a building located in the Cathédrale district : demolition-re-novation, departure for new horizons, unreal truce, spectral mirror on the city. A multi-entry narrative looms on the horizon. Everything flew away, vanished to the four winds. Different temporalities and horizons co-exist inside the window, a presence takes possession of the place. Searching ceramic collections to rebuild an existence, inhabiting the strata of a place and settle into time. In the Synchronicité video (6 min) which is played on a loop, Camille Feldmann and her actors live in turn in this beach postcard under the archetypal traits of the ghost who blossoms in a holiday or world’s end landscape. Holy days, cliché of the artist’s life and its so-called idleness, Holidays and the fear of counting down the days of unemployment which accumulate until you get buried, Holydays or furtive respite when you plan an exhibition, like a window to the outside to breathe deeply. Camille Feldmann graduated from ESAVL in 2016. She is a multidisciplinary visual artist (film, ceramics, sculpture, installation, video, photography, drawing, pain-ting, fanzine, etc.). She relentlessly initiates multiform projects in Belgium, in the form of exhibitions or direct performances in the public space. «Working on the porosity of the boundaries between the artistic performance and our everyday life and making them indissociable» could well be one of the leitmotifs of her artistic approach.
