ブルックリン美術館さんのインスタグラム写真 - (ブルックリン美術館Instagram)「“My hands are the only territory I know.” 🤲 Baño Sagrado (Rite of Initiation, Sacred Bath), excerpted here, is an early collaboration with Neil Leonard in which Campos-Pons interprets Yoruba-derived rituals of cleansing and explores the energies of Yemayá and Oshun in her body and life, drawing on African proverbs surrounding challenges of exile, immigration, and interracial love. In this scene from the 31-minute single-channel video, the artist cups water in her hand, which acts as a screen showing shimmering waters in Baracoa, where three ships of armed Spanish settlers first landed in Cuba in 1492, beginning their genocide of Indigenous people and campaign of colonial violence. See the film in #BeholdBkM currently on view on the fourth floor through January 14, 2024. 🎥 Video by María Magdalena Campos-Pons (born Matanzas, Cuba, 1959) with sound by Neil Leonard (born Cambridge, Massachusetts, 1959). Still from Baño Sagrado (Rite of Initiation, Sacred Bath), 1991. Single-channel video transferred from Super 8 film (color, sound): 31 min., 37 sec.; sound: composition for alto saxophone, bells, clay flute.
