SEEINGDOUBLE: Pap Souleye Fall

ONEHALFDOESNOTMAKEAWHOLE. 2024. Collected material, blue screen paper. DEAD PIXEL, as in the screen of the monitor - a malfunction from a single-pixel creates a black dot. DP is here to destabilize and conjure.

Rosenwald-Wolf Gallery, Street Window

333 S. Broad St Philadelphia, PA 19107

Please join us for an opening reception on Friday, Feb.  2, 4–6 p.m. for SEEINGDOUBLE, a new installation by Pap Souleye Fall.

Refreshments will be available across the street at 320 S. Broad St Philadelphia, PA 19107

Pap Souleye Fall makes videos, sculptures, sounds, paintings and situations that consider feeling and body knowledge as technologies of escapism. He deploys methods found in cosplaying like world-building, speculative fiction and gameplay, as components that come together to create immersive settings. 

Fall’s work questions how systems of power condition reality and how black diasporas navigate, reimagine, and refigure them in order to adapt. His practice necessitates improvisation, iteration, and malleable structures. He works with videos on monitors, cardboard, clothing and wood that are frequently salvaged or recycled. These materials allow him to create strategies and backdrops for joy and immersive experiences. Fall echoes the virtual and the physical as a way to source the black imaginary.

Save the date: Thursday, Feb. 15, at 7 p.m. for a special screening at the iLAB Project Space 302.
