Fragile Absolute Landscape
YYZ gallery, Toronto, Canada 2006
“Ibrahim landscape engages the viewer not only in interpreting the relationship among the three projections, but also in the process of readjusting his/her sensory apparatus to the installation as a whole—a technological self-portrait of the artist encamped within the space of the gallery. This encampment might be seen as a contemporary inscription of Hamlet’s soul forever caught in between his wonderment and predicament, “O God, I could be bounded in a nutshell and count myself a king of infinite space”. As Landscape expands into a unique phenomenological and cinematic event, we are urged to reconsider the meaning of self-portraiture in contemporary art.” - Dr. Vladimir Spicanovic, Dean in the Faculty of OCAD University, Toronto, Canada
