Camiel Corneille
Camiel Corneille creates performances that invite you to slow down and look closely. His work has the quality of an art installation, where the presence of the performer, the object and the space are equally important. Rather than focusing on spectacle, he creates situations in which movement, object and space continuously influence one another.
Large objects, Kinetic sculptures, often play a central role in his work. Camiel carefully sets them into motion, balancing precision with unpredictability. At times, the relationship reverses and the object begins to determine his movement. This shifting balance between control and surrender is a recurring element in his practice.
Bringing together movement, acrobatics and visual art, Camiel uses the body as a focus point for exploring physical and psychological challenges. His performances turn these challenges into striking visual compositions, where gravity, balance and human presence/perseverance come together.
"With my work, I want the audience to think: "If he can do this, maybe I can do things too." I want to make the audience aware that we are all part of the same experience."
