Thank you to everyone who came last night to honor the life and work of Hoda Zarbaf with us. It was a beautiful evening sharing in and appreciating her complex and intimate work.

If you were unable to join us last night, we invite you to do so this evening.

Doors open at 6pm
RSVP at [email protected]

Hoda Zarbaf passed away suddenly at the height of the pandemic—a great loss, which the art world has not yet had the chance to mourn. The Bridge and Tunnel is proud to be a part of this international effort to honor her memory and celebrate her art on the anniversary of her passing.

In Front Camera/Back Camera, true to form, Zarbaf introspectively confronts her existential agony, recording the memory of her internal conflict. Made in 2017 as part of the We Are Image-making Machines series, the piece features two projections of the artist and her thoughts. It reveals Zarbaf’s state of “self” reflection versed by the gaze of her ego. Together, the two unfeigned projections exhibit a rather harrowing conversation between the self as “I,” the subjective knower, and the self as “Me,” the known object.
