Camilla Padgitt-Coles
Video Poem for Mum
No items found.

This is an audio-visual love letter to the artist’s mother who has been dealing with a chronic lung illness for the past two years. “I would normally visit her regularly, as she lives in the apartment I grew up in down the river from me in New York City,” explains Padgitt-Coles. “However, the elevated risk and the fear of her being infected with the coronavirus has made visiting in person near impossible. My humble intention was to make a piece of art for her that would communicate and convey a feeling and presence without words.”

Camilla Padgitt-Coles is a Brooklyn-based multimedia artist working in real-time physical atmospheres with light and/or sound. She has been involved in live performances and meditations, videos, installations, and musical releases. She has performed visuals or music at the New Museum, Basilica Hudson, Issue Project Room, The Kitchen, Roulette, MoMA PS1 (New York), Cafe OTO (London), and Acud Macht Neu (Berlin). She recently had a solo show with her interactive installation, "The Tuning House", at Essex Flowers gallery in New York.
