Geert Goiris, born 1971 in Bornem, Belgium, teaches at the Royal Academy of Arts in Antwerp. He studied photography at the Sint-Lukas Higher Institute for Visual Arts in Brussels and graduated from the Academy of Fine Arts as well as the Higher Institute for Fine Arts in Antwerp. His work has been exhibited all over the world, such as Hamburger Kunsthalle, Kunstforum Basel, Gallery of Modern Art in Brisbane and Nouveau Musée National de Monaco.
According to Eva Wittocx, his photographs reflect on the fundamental tension between perception and reality. In his work, time and space disappear in the interplay of form, abstraction, light and depth. The images of architectural spaces and intriguing landscapes with traces of human presence are often very alienating. In his recent work figures have started appearing, suggesting open narratives with threatening undertones.
The exhibition Lying Awake shows Goiris’ images as projections at the art organisation The NEST. For directions please visit their website at www.becauseartislife.org
In cooperation with The NEST
