EDITH DEKYNDT

Applying physical and chemical processes, Dekyndt brings forth the ephemerality of objects, images and sound to convey the transitory elements of time, light and space. Dekyndt’s body of work is suspended between the tangible and intangible, allowing permeability in the perception of what is real. Dekyndt’s works are currently on view as part of “Tell Us Something That Nobody Knows” at Kunsthalle Bielefeld, which is on view until 26 October 2025. ⁠She was recently a Fogo Island Arts Artist-in-Resident in 2024.
