About this artwork

With a vanishing point channeling our attention towards a crumbling kiosk, this picture by Geert Goiris testifies to a bygone era. Set in an eerie environment, the landscape exhibits an archeology of the future devoid of any human presence with decaying architecture.

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.
