DUALITIES Show at Swell Gallery, San Francisco

 

My first-ever video installation is up in the "Dualities" show at Swell Gallery on the graduate campus of San Francisco Art Institute, 2565 Third Street, San Francisco. The opening reception is Saturday, August 2, 3-5pm. My piece is a pilot installation for a larger work based on my "Lalita" film - beginning to explore the different types of documentation in Lalita's life (including medical scans).  I travelled with my subject to India a few weeks ago to visit her 89-year-old mother, which was quite an experience.  I'm seeing a pattern in my films, that every serious work I've made involves some kind of return to a homeland.
