Robert Lazzarini — Brass Knuckles (iv)
Robert Lazzarini

Brass Knuckles (iv)

Robert Lazzarini's *Brass Knuckles (iv)* presents a set of brass knuckles that appear warped and spatially distorted, as if the object has been mathematically skewed and stretched beyond its familiar form. Lazzarini is known for manipulating the geometry of everyday objects to create a disorienting sense of anamorphic displacement, challenging the viewer's perception of physical reality. The work transforms a recognizable and culturally loaded object into something uncanny, hovering between the real and the surreal.
