Image of a bathroom wall of white tiles. The abstraction reminds of a snow-covered landscape.

Nature is a constant source of inspiration for Goossens, without needing to seek out spectacular views or pristine wilderness. In his series Yonders, Goossens explores different representations of nature in derelict interiors. Tiles with plant motifs, adhesive foil with wood grain or flowery wallpaper: they are all attempts to escape from the stifling interior space of a home. His work is a quest for people’s hidden longing for exotic places and snow-capped mountains. The photograph Catch illustrates how Goossens observes the everyday and offers us a view of subtle details and quirky corners. What do you see in the geometrical surfaces shown here?
