Surabhi Saraf: FOLD
SEE EVENT DETAILS
at Hosfelt Gallery, San Francisco
(see times)
Jan 31-Mar 14, Reception Feb 7, 4-6pm; Tu, We, Fr, Sa 10:00-5:30, Th 11-7
New media/performance artist Surabhi Saraf presents her mesmerizing video FOLD, a wall-sized projection divided into a grid of 96 frames. In the beginning, the moving image in each of the frames is identical: a dark-haired woman-the artist herself-sits quietly folding laundry. Her gentle humming is punctuated by the snap of a sheet shaken or the hiss of a crease smoothed. But as she's doubling-over jeans or flapping out her saris and blouses, something goes amiss. The frames drift out of sync, a twitch becomes syncopation and the field dissolves into a shivering choreography of hypnotically vibrating grids and flickering geometric patterns.
