IslANDs - Compressed Realities - Exploded Photoworks

Each time Gudjon comes to Delhi, I get a new addition of

invite for a large scale retrospective of his work over the last
three years at the Lalit Kala National Academy celebrating
their 60th year of existence… winning landmark architectural
commissions and competitions around the world, creating
new works composed of fertile experiments in merging
worlds of opposite ideas; observing emerging chaos within
order, pure abstraction versus representation, the conceptual
counter-posed with the real…
layering layer upon layer of grey tones and zeroed overlays,
creating a narrative of architecture through unstructured
volume, swaths of fluid black ink plunging across sheets of
white paper rolls as videos move the eye from an alchemy
of shifting planes.
Remember all this coming from someone born in a land
of constant flux- transforming under profound but eternal
cataclysms. Metamorphosis unseen by eyes that blink.
This edition Compressed Realities-Exploded Photoworks is
only one volume in a trilogy of publications named GOlden
IslANDs - the global works of Gudjon Bjarnason.

Consider planting dynamite into steel containers and blasting
them and piecing them together as unpredictable wholes,
