"In Egyptian mythology, Kebechet is a goddess, a deification of embalming liquid. Her name means cooling water."

KEBEHET is a series of videos filmed near bodies of water on an old sony videocamera.

"Kebechet is a daughter of Anubis. As the deification of embalming, Kebechet was seen as the goddess of freshness and purification through water who washed the entrails of the deceased and brought the sacred water to Anubis for his tasks. She was thought to give water to the spirits of the dead while they waited for the mummification process to be complete. She was probably related to mummification where she would fortify the body against corruption, so it would stay fresh for reanimation by the deceased's ka."
