Journey

Burman offers elegant homage, in ?Journey?, to Hieronymus Bosch and his memorable phantasmagoria, ?The Garden of earthly Delights?. Burman borrows, from Bosch, his glass bubble with its naked nymph ? but replaces the male figure in the bubble with an astronaut. Around this caprice, various figures float in zero-gravity space: humans and animals, and also a violin. Burman encrypts the traces and vestiges of various stories, leaving us to imagine the outcomes that spin out of this frame: a seven-headed figure, a man who appears to be reclining on a beach, a child wearing an imperial laurel, and a hare, all seem to fly off in separate and equally tantalizing narrative directions.
