Orit Raff: Thirty Times the Length of My Breath

Orit Raff is an Israeli artist based in New York. Her photographs, videos, and installations capture the sensual beauty of the unextraordinary and unnoticed, the remnants and echoes of the occupants of spaces. Her new video, “Thirty Times the Length of My Breath,” is an underwater meditation. With the camera directed at the drain in a swimming pool, insignificant moments are gradually infused with meaning as the muffled sounds of swimmers become apparent and the occasional pubic hair or other debris floats past.
