Gorky is interesting, the title To project means cast an image or a light onto a surface, To conjure means to perform tricks that seem magical.
This just about sums up the life of Gorky in his Artistic career. He wanted to experiment in order to grow as an artist and become established.
He spent many years in the Surrealist circles and understood their philosophy of life and was sympathetic to their ways. However he only used this framework to develop his skills and reinvent imaginative art.
Towards the end of his life he entered into a new realm the one of Informalism, which was more relaxed and friendly, and it is here that he made his mark and took great strides.
What Gorky is really saying is, it is good to go forward in your life, it is ok to go backwards in your life but if you stay still then you will miss out.
