Fold Me, Gaze Me

“The Fold: The Baroque invents the infinite work or operation. The problem is not how to finish a fold, but how to continue it, make it go through the roof, take it to infinity. For the fold affects not only all kinds of materials, which thus become matter of expression in accordance with different scales and speeds and vectors (the mountains and the waters, papers, fabrics, living tissues, the brain), but it also determines and brings form into being and into appearance, it makes of it a form of expression, Gestaltung, the genetic element or the line of infinite inflexion, the curve of a single variable. “(Gilles Deleuze, “The Fold”)

The Fold is an essential idea that Gilles Deleuze developed from Leibniz and Baroque. He considers that the universe is constructed by the folds of time, space, and movements.

I interpret his idea and use the notion of the fold to experiment the smartphone and my body’s relations so as to reveal the folds of the time and space in our daily life.
