About this artwork

Taken as early as 2014, this artwork by Geert Goiris is a symbol of the past three years. An omen of what awaited for us, the photograph is part of the artist’s series Prophet, a project where images were envisioned as signs of things to come. Unsettling to the utmost, the portrait has a mystical aura for it was an oracle of what awaited us.

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.
