Sarah Dobai’s photographs, like her video and film work, are part of an unidentified environment made up of a repertoire of suspended atmospheres, situations or actions. When the human figure is present, it is on a casting basis, to "personify" a particular situation or given moment in a relationship of equivalence. Landscapes and people seem to meet up suddenly in "another dimension" where a process determined by the artist with extreme precision, and of which we are not immediately aware, is activated.
all her work to me is a little off. the space is a little strange, the color is a little dull and speaks of a specific time and place (very british in my mind)
