Kevin Trappeniers is a Belgian transdisciplinary artist, creating live performances and art installations. He develops a stilled, visual, physical and often wordless artistic language in work at the intersection of performing arts and visual arts. He works with artificial and natural materials, and landscape, body, light, and sound translate themes such as isolation, communication, and human-nature relations. Trappeniers moves freely between disciplines, and mixes them together in interdisciplinary work, in theatres, exhibition spaces, and in public space. 

​

​For the period 2020-2026, Trappeniers is selected to be a member of the The Young Academy (De Jonge Academie) Belgium, an interdisciplinary and interuniversity meeting place for young scientific researchers and artists with their own views on science, society, art and policy. Working on the art-science axis, he currently focuses on climate change and fragile ecosystems in a glocal context.​

​

The artistic work has been presented in Belgium, the Netherlands, France, Slovenia, Portugal, Canada, Italy and Iceland. Projects and research have been made possible with the support of the Flemish Government, the Flemish Community Commission (VGC) and longstanding partner C-TAKT.
