Lise Sarfati: Sarah.phg 3_06, 2015
Sarah.phg 3_06, 2015, is the emblematic first photograph of the series Sarah, created by Lise Sarfati in Los Angeles in 2015. The series consists of three color photographs, two black-and-white images, and several segments of Super 8 film. The form is similar to a very precise cutout, shifting between shadow and light, from color to black and white, from a single image to multiple frames, seeking to compartmentalize different periods of time and space.
Sarfati has always treated the feminine figure in her photographs as a character. The emptiness of the image is only on the surface. One would more likely find an enigmatic gap in the open interpretations of the characters wandering. The context and background of these photographs oscillate between previously explored territories and the paths already taken—far from unknown.
