Solo exhibition. A fire destroyed the parental house of photographer Karin Borghouts. 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. Borghout’s intuitive decision to capture this unexpected event, resulted in a very exceptional and personal series.
