Art making, and in Sofia’s case specifically film making, exists largely outside the realm of words. The work she creates comes into being by harnessing a kind of visual intuition with a rhythm and form that is mysterious and undulating, even tidal.
With each film, she conjures a magical world that is both complex and quiet. In the process, she finds her own language that is separate from the dominant strain, in harmony with the imagery.
This book is a peek into Sofia’s instrument at work.
