Inspired by the ways we perceive temporal phenomena through movement, both visually and sonically, Surabhi Saraf uses her background in experimental sound, Indian classical music and choreography to create audio and video works. With a diverse array of techniques such as repetition, fragmentation, and multiplication, she designs sequences of rhythmic movements, creating multilayered structures of evolving patterns that slow down our perception of time.
