New art worls by Sergey Vasiliev capture electric light on the plane, the base layer of a modern city. The glow of billboards and phosphor road markings, the illumination of buildings and bridges, and even reflections in a mirrored sphere at a subway station are no less real than brick, concrete, and asphalt.

The emphasized materiality of his work convinces the priority of light over unstable form. An ordinary urban landscape reflected from mirrored glass takes on its own irrational life. A mosaic glitch screen with its own inner light, and its complex pattern seems like a mistake only to those who are used to find form rather than radiance in everything. No one can escape from this phantom light.
