Illusions of Life brings together artworks by Toba Khedoori and others that reimagine everyday environments through introspective reflection and material restraint. These works evoke spectral architectures, or spaces where what is absent may be as resonant as the visible or tangible.
Created primarily during the 1990s and early 2000s—a period marked by new forms of global interconnectivity that blurred distinctions between public and private spheres—these works focus on the intricacies of daily life as a means to reflect, capture, or magnify experiences of time, space, and the self.
Illusions of Life is organized by Erica Papernik-Shimizu, Associate Curator of Media and Performance, and Lanka Tattersall, Curator of Drawing and Prints, with Abby Hermosilla, Curatorial Assistant, Curatorial Affairs.
