Poem Reply to Sofía. 2021, digital video 1'47''
edit and images Sofía del Pedregal
text and voice Catherine Niu
The video "Poem Reply to Sofía" builds a poetic narration from the documentation of a site-specific installation by Sofía del Pedregal, where she covered different areas of the Ruins of Epecuén in Argentina with semi-transparent lilac fabric. The gaze wanders across the Ruins which, with light touches of wind and semi-transparent cloth, begin to speak. We hear an epistolary poem by the writer Catherine Niu addressed to Sofía that evokes an atmosphere of distanced intimacy.
"Poem Reply to Sofía" arose from a correspondence of poems between the writer Catherine Niu and the artist Sofía del pedregal during the ongoing pandemic.
