Do You Trust The Ground You Walk On

DO YOU TRUST THE GROUND YOU WALK ON?

Eliza Barrios'
installation at Micaela Gallery in San Francisco's Hayes Valley asks viewers to ponder. Her elegant, poignant, and dizzying site-specific installation incorporates photography, video and her signature use of reflection. One is left lingering, whether it's to ruminate on the social implications of her presentation or to revel in the pure visual pleasure her work delivers, the imprint remains.

The installation is seen from the outside gallery window and I highly recommend viewing it at night!

do you trust the ground you walk on is part of the exhibition Bag' O/Neo: 21st Century Modernism curated by Rico J. Reyes. The show also includes works by Emily Caisip, Pauletta Chanco, Cirilo Domine, John Yoyogi Fortes, Julia Marchand, and Christiane Ostertag.
