Here and now
Regardless of the season, it is dark, the doors are always closed and no wind meanders into this hidden place. We walk in without really knowing where we are going, the interior resembles a maze, the language is foreign.
Bieke Depoorter traveled to Russia for the first time in 2009, through the forgotten villages of Siberia. She knocked on anonymous doors in the evening, with a piece of paper with a written request for hospitality. She is now being welcomed into American homes, in the United States, for one night. The pictures provide an anti-stereotypical look at American daily life.
Bieke Depoorter’s pictures are united by an invisible thread, intimate, a powerful invitation.
