Fold
Fold, 2010
Single-Channel Video with Sound
Duration: 7 minutes
FOLD transforms the mundane act of folding laundry into a densely layered audiovisual ritual. Composed of a 96-channel grid, the work magnifies a single day’s solitary gesture into a swarm of subtle variation each video a thread in a larger tapestry of repetition, routine, and rhythm.
The process was intuitive. I set a fixed camera and folded an entire load of laundry, again and again playing with color, fabric, motion.
Over months, I collected dozens of takes, eventually selecting and assembling movements that resonated, shirt pulls, finger flicks, a tuck of hair behind the ear. What began as domestic labor became a choreography of patterns within patterns, always shifting, always unfolding.
