The Museum Dr. Guislain (Ghent, Belgium) hosts the exhibition “The House” of the Belgian photographer Karin Borghouts. The exhibition is focused on photographer’s intimate project, after that a fire destroyed her parental house.
The blackened interior evoked feelings of chaos and destruction, but at the same time created an estranging beauty in the abandoned devastation: a scorched painting, a black mirror, a porcelain figurine covered with soot and ashes.
Borghouts’ intuitive decision to capture this unexpected event, resulted in a very exceptional and personal series.
A special artist publication of the series, “THE HOUSE”, was released in a limited edition in 2014 by The Eriskay Connection.
