Edith Dekyndt (Ypres, 1960) is a visual artist.
Her work observes, identifies, and transforms the performative phenomenology of ordinary materials, objects, and gestures.
These are typically forced into a transformation that leads to material transcendence, be it by means of chemical and physical reactions, or deceptively simple interactions with the human body.
The documentation of such processes is essential to the work, which ranges across all sorts of media: video, photography, sound, installation, and performance.
Dekyndt is represented internationally by industry-leading galleries:[3] Galerie Konrad Fischer and Karin Guenther in Germany, Greta Meert in Belgium, and Carl Freedman in the UK.
