“But in Majumdar’s hands the illusionist trick becomes a metaphor for lucid dreaming. The oscillation between looking into a picture fiction and noticing how it is made of paint on a surface is like being in a dream while knowing you are having one. Recognition of the work’s crafted artifice is deferred as we trip across our sense that a colored canvas has been partially covered by a composition of white paper. What blocks our view becomes the view itself.”
