TIỂU SỬ

Born in 1971 in Bornem, Geert Goiris lives and works in Antwerp. Primarily using photography, Goiris’ 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”. His photographs often represent alienated landscapes: empty fields, mountains and abandoned urban environments infused with nostalgia, solitude and drama. 

Solo shows include “Amygdala” at Extra City, Antwerp (2016), “Fight or Flee” at FRAC Haute Normandie, Rouen (2016), "Flash Bulb memories, “Ash Grey Prophesies” at FOAM, Amsterdam (2015), “Unfathomable”, Belfast Exposed, UK (2015), VOX, Montreal (2014), Barrage de Mauvoisin, Le Châble (2014), Museum M, Leuven (2013), "Darkcloud", Galerie art:Concept, Paris (2012), "Whiteout and Other Stories", Hamburger Kunsthalle, Hamburg (2012), and “Imagine There’s No Countries”, Le Crédac, Ivry-sur-Seine (2009).

His work has been on display in group shows at Centre Pompidou Metz - Museum of Contemporary Photography, Chicago - Gallery of Modern Art, Brisbane, Palais de Tokyo, Paris -  Bozar, Brussels -  Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen, Rotterdam -  MUHKA, Antwerp -  NRW-Forum Kultur und Wirtschaft, Düsseldorf - S.M.A.K, Ghent - Les rencontres de Photographie, Arles - Museum of contemporary Art, Santiago de Chile -  Jeu de Paume, Paris - Manifesta 5, San Sebastian and Platform Garanti, Istanbul.
