Geert Goiris
"White Villa"

I try to find out how a place reveals itself to me, and time is my accomplice in stealing its image. I use exposures of up to one hour, so I can document minute changes and
rhythms at work in a given surrounding. The camera not only witnesses a moment, it records a state. These images relate to distant memory, which is not specific. They remind me of a way of seeing, rather than bringing me back to the places they depict.
