In\u00a0<em>HOME MOVIE\u00a0<\/em>(2012) cell phone videos of social gatherings and public performances are layered with close-ups of nature, naked bodies, and domestic interiors to form a kaleidoscopic notion of home\u2014as a shared space, a sense of belonging, and a site of intimacy. In\u00a0<em>extrae<\/em>\u00a0(2016) shots of cats, unmade beds, and dried flower petals are paired with an irreverent ode to Tyrone Garner, one of the plaintiffs in the 2003 Supreme Court case that overturned archaic sodomy laws throughout the United States.\u00a0Zearfoss presents a collection of videos spanning the last decade, including the premiere of two new works,\u00a0<em>Goth Party\u00a0<\/em>and\u00a0<em>White Balance<\/em>, and restages\u00a0<em>Something to Move In<\/em>\u00a0(2014) and\u00a0<em>Love Is a Stranger<\/em>(2012) as live, responsive performances.
