38h x 27.5w in
Nazer’s work is characterized by a sense of tension in space that can be especially seen across the works where specific architectural plans are at times disquietingly repeated, unsettlingly combined, or out-right, impossible. In the works Intimate Template I and Intimate Template 2, a container resembling a garment with two opposing necklines suggests an impossible torso stretched between openings or a doubled body with two emerging heads. It is overlaid with architectural drawings that are similarly troubling to read, particularly a green space that appears to have no outer walls, begging the questions: Is it a series of open air corridors leading to nowhere? How might one inhibit this unusual space? Despite this ambiguity, its shape is recognisable as an outline that appears as a spectre across multiple works, a place that insistently demands to be dealt with.
