After several weeks of creation in Quebec City, Belgian artist Camille Collin concludes her research residency on her project P O U R R I T U R E, an exploration of living cycles, transformation and fragility. Hosted as part of the Québec-Namur residency program, Camille’s experimental approach is at the crossroads of printmaking, photography, organic matter and gesture. Her journey took her to Engramme, VU – a center for the dissemination and production of photography – and La Chambre blanche, where she was able to develop her visual experiments, manipulate, observe and let chance do the work.
Between unsettling moments and intimate discoveries, this residency was both a sensitive and formative experience for the artist, a time for listening, doubt and transformation, just like the subject she is exploring. P O U R R I T U R E questions what decomposes only to be reborn: a metaphor for life, art and creation itself.
This residency was part of the Québec-Namur exchange program.
