Born in 1971 in Bornem, Geert Goiris lives and works in Antwerp. Primarily using photography, Goiris鈥� practice documents strange sites and unusual encounters with subjects that appear distinctly out of place, whether a rock formation, an abandoned house or an albino wallaby. His technique reflects the unnaturalness of the situations he records, using prolonged photographic exposure to lend his pictures a surreal quality. Constantly traveling in search of images to complement his singular lexicon, Goiris has evolved a body of work, which he describes as "Traumatic Realism鈥�. His photographs often represent alienated landscapes: empty fields, mountains and abandoned urban environments infused with nostalgia, solitude and drama.
