Edith Dekyndt
°1960, Ypres (BE) - lives and works in Brussels (BE)
Edith Dekyndt has developed a body of work that is both poetic and precise, rooted in the observation of everyday materials and ephemeral phenomena. Dust, light, water, fabric or magnetic fields become central actors in her practice, where subtle transformations are carefully recorded through video, sound, photography, installation and performance. Dekyndt places process above finished form, allowing fragile evolutions to speak for themselves.
Her work often carries a quiet ecological awareness. By magnifying almost invisible shifts—light falling on a surface, moisture crystallising on glass, or a flag stirring in the wind—she reveals the delicate interdependence between humans and their environment. These restrained gestures invite us to slow down and reflect on the fragile balance that sustains the world around us.
