Get to know Camille Holvoet through her eyes with new documentary
Known in the community for her striking work and exuberant personality, CE artist Camille Holvoet's story has still been largely untold.
In conjunction with Holvoet’s critically acclaimed solo exhibition Cake Taxi, Open your Eyes Wide is an animated documentary based on Holvoet's life and features an extensive collection of her work over the last 20 years.
Working closely with Holvoet, teaching artist Gilles Combet brings Holvoet's artwork to life through a series of playful animations, sometimes with a somber turn. The animation is played against numerous recordings of Holvoet that were made during a period of four months through video chats, phone calls, and a live interview.
Open Your Eyes Wide is a raw, emotional, and nostalgic look inside Holvoet's constant yearning to relive her own memories.
