EDITH DEKYNDT |
||
| WORKS | BIOGRAPHY | ||
|
Born 1960 Yper, Belgium. Lives and works in Tournai, Belgium Edith Dekyndt's projects are focused on the occupation of space, experiencing its meaning and contents, the particularities of space itself and the socio-anthropo-cultural human context. Using images, texts, videos, and simple technical solutions the artist raises questions relating to both the individual and global positions of people in society. Whatever the form is, the work is completed with modest tools arising from everyday life (music, air, paper, neons, texts, threads...). Edith Dekyndt's work explores the limits of the relationship between art, science and reality. In 1999, she founded the UNIVERSAL RESEARCH OF SUBJECTIVITY group, which focuses on the exposure of different ways in which consistencies emerge in the artistic adaptation of the ground rules of minimal/conceptual art forms.
