Shard of Light
2011Nizam’s work poetically reminds me that photography comes from the greek literally meaning “to write with light.” While the final works exist as photographs, his process involves carefully changing moveable walls, making cuts in architecture (akin to the gesture of Gordon Matta Clark), and playing with mirrors and other tools that can move light around in space. Is this a sculpture of light documented on paper, or a photograph of a transient moment? Regardless of where the true strength of his work lies, they are profoundly eerie and beautiful to me.

Kind of a beautiful picture unto itself, regardless.
