About
Kedist Coppejans is a Belgian artist, born in Addis Ababa. She works across photography, moving image and installation.
Her practice starts from personal stories and experiences, which are explored through image-making and expanded into poetic and often unsettling works. Working between Ghent and Brussels, Kedist creates work that invites reflection on memory, emotion and everyday experience.

Through photography, video, and word, this work explores the artist’s evolving relationship with a lost language, not merely as a tool for communication, but as material, structure, and subject. Words appear as fragments, traces, captions, interruptions, or absences, images become forms of reading, while video unfolds as a space where meaning is continuously constructed and undone. Moving between the visual and the verbal, the work questions how language shapes perception, memory, intimacy, and identity. Rather than offering fixed narratives, the work invites viewers into a shifting terrain where seeing and hearing become inseparable acts. Short film: 11'02''
