Lurie depicts his own private landscape on Super8 film and then transcribes the imprinted lit images within the prism of his memories and sensations. Here the black and white, urban, dreamlike scenes from the flatland of St.Peterburg and Kronstadt – the old Russia’s marine fort – refract into subdued colors of the pristine mountain terrain of Northern Norway. Thus, Refraction reflects the perception of the two realities, the artist lives between.
