Edith Dekyndt works across video, sculpture, installation, drawing and sound to address timeless concerns of light, time and space. Throughout her work, she manifests a profound interest in physical phenomenons and ephemeral incidents by paying close attention to materials and their transient nature. She transforms her sensual perceptions to create a conceptually rich and materially engaged visual language.
For this Online Viewing Room, Edith Dekyndt created a new series of works where pieces of broken glass are delicately stitched onto velvet and carefully draped over metallic bars. Precariously balancing the seemingly opposite material properties of glass and fabric, Edith Dekyndt's operation oscillates between an act of healing and a razor-sharp deception. The series is accompanied by a text written by Maria Gil Ulldemolins.
