An Debie is a photographer and visual artist born in Belgium. She studied photography at ICP - the International Center of Photography in New York and at the Academy of Fine Arts in Ghent, she also holds an M.A. in History of Art (Ghent University).
For many years she was active as a performance artist. Since 2015 her artistic practice is focused mainly on photography based visual art. In her projects the underlying thread is the exploration of processes of transformation and metamorphosis, transitions from light to dark and dark to light, from an inner to an outer world, from immaterial into material dimensions and back.
An Debie is currently based in Brussels where she is a faculty member at Luca School of Arts, campus Narafi. Her studio is based in Ateliers Res Ars in Molenbeek, Brussels.
