For the development of the works on view in Casino Copernicus two texts have been important to Samiee: The Unfinished Copernican Revolution by French psychoanalyst Jean Laplanche and The Black Sun by Bulgarian-French philosopher and psychoanalyst Julia Kristeva. Samiee compares the practice of an artist/painter to the act of gambling; every stroke, decision or step in the work could bring you a step forward, but it could also set you back. A pursuit which at the same time has a nearly unattainable goal. The books attend to Samiee’s interest in the way the people we like or are afraid of form the centre of our thoughts and actions. His installations often evoke a sense of disorientation, inspiring the viewer to re-relate them self to the space and time. Samiee invites us to actively participate in the birth of new, more interrelated worlds
