About the work
Gluzberg’s central practice is drawing, sometimes expanding into photography, performance and sound installation. The drawing made for the Biennial is from part of a new body of work – a series of self-contained forms that attempt to resist the unrelenting train of information being driven into our interior world. Starting from basic geometries, they are a contemplation of space and its customary representation.
“..the world of three dimensions has not and never had any real existence, that it was a creation of our fantasy, a phantom, a spectre, a delusion, an optical illusion, anything you like… the three-dimensionality of the world is the property of its reflections in our consciousness.”
– P.D Ouspensky, Tertium Organum: The Third Canon of Thought, a Key to the Enigmas of the World
