Doorways

With Doorways, visual artist Michiel Kluiters investigates how space, or spatiality, works in photography and how it can become an instrument for narration. A series of photographed spaces open up a conversation and hint at intimate stories. They seem to address the hands instead of the eyes: they beg to be touched, to be stroked, to be felt. These spaces look like unfinished buildings or abandoned ruins, still under construction or already in decline.

The book functions as an interactive object. By folding out pages, new layouts and compositions appear. The diverse crops and zooms make you question the scale of each model. The typography is set as the architecture itself – by using white space and different column widths that are referring to door openings.
