About this artwork

In this black and white picture taken by the artist Geert Goiris, a dandelion occupies the whole space. The title of the piece, Dazzle contrasts with the fragile nature of the weed that disintegrates with the faintest wind blow. Part of his series Proliferation, the photograph ponders upon the consequences of climate change and the vulnerability of life on earth.

Geert Goiris travels the world, seeking out unusual places and interpreting them in enigmatic images. Despite the high resolution afforded by his large-format film camera, his images don’t overwhelm us with definitive information. They are intentionally unpinned from a specific era, giving the feeling that we could be simultaneously looking at the past and the future.
