Karin BORGHOUTS (Kapellen °1959) is a Belgian artist photographer. She photographs places, preferably architectural environments, interiors, museums, zoos and (amusement)parks. Her work is a visual research on art, photography, representation, memory and reality. She studied painting, sculpture and later on photography and worked as a graphic designer. Her photographs have been exhibited in several European cities and Japan and are published in books and magazines. Karin BORGHOUTS is working on her own projects and likes to work in site-specific projects. She also works on commissioned assignments for cultural institutes, museums, publishers and city councils. She has a large experience in printing and publishing. At this moment she is not represented by a gallery.
This presentation circles around the pictures theme, the photograph as a
reproduction and the exhibitionspace. With the visitors presence, the
exhibition gets the space to speak.
