Geert Goiris, a Belgium photographer, is well
known for his intriguing dreamlike images that express a sense of wonder and
timelessness. “The
distance I put between myself and some of the subjects could be almost extraterrestrial,
like a visitor from out of space, seeing the world for the first time.” The
pictures above are from his series, Lying
Awake, which mainly focused on the interdependency of obvious opposites
such as reality and imagination. My
favorite picture is the one of table in the middle of the room. While I know
the table leg is there and is just hidden within the shadow of the table top,
it still caught my attention and I found myself thinking “how in the world…?”
before common sense kicked in. However, even after realizing it’s just a trick
of the eye, I still like to think that he truly captured something surreal.
