Parkett Vol. 44
Quote from Parkett
“Vija Celmins’s mature work is a repeated image of uninhabitability, without foothold or air. It depicts space liquefied or rarefied, and further carbonized in the rendering. It is a space of drowning or asphyxiation, and, though without fantasy’s comforts, of dreams.”
