Biography
Evelien Cammaert (Brussels, 1986) is a performance and installation artist. She graduated in 2010 as a photographer (Narafi Brussels) and in 2016 as a performer (Toneelacademie Maastricht). With her background in both disciplines, she looks for hybrid languages in performances and scenographic constellations. She investigates how these different realities enter into dialogue with each other and how they can strengthen and transform our perception. A recurring theme in her work is a focus on our experience of time. By slowing down the pace in her performances, even almost stopping it, Evelien wants to pull herself and the spectator out of the daily gear to create a collective concentration that creates space for a new order of time. She seeks interactions between past and present, memory and moment experience or makes spatial interventions that respond to contrasts such as large and small, near and far.

‘Archival Branches’ is a research and artistic practice in which Evelien Cammaert explores the role and meaning of the artist’s archive. She develops a working method that connects her artistic research, creation and presentation. By approaching her own archive as a (metaphorical) landscape, she creates a mental and/or spatial environment in which she submerges herself as a human being and artist and searches for a way through a field of ever-changing memories.
