Art Basel — Sonia Gomes
Filmed in Sonia Gomes's studio, this portrait follows the Brazilian artist through the fabrics, fragments, and memories that shape her practice — a world where gesture, care, and transformation make art inseparable from life.
Low sun rakes across a pink corner house with a shuttered window, a row of old houses down the street
An extreme close-up of the artist's face turned upward, a red head wrap framing her eyes
A close view of soft textile sculptures — bound forms in lace and floral cloth heaped together
The artist stands amid her hanging textile works in the studio, a red head wrap and coloured drums around her
Crocheted textile sculptures hang from the ceiling of a marble chapel, an altar and painting beyond
Overhead, ringed hands gather and pin a mound of pale fabric
A close profile of the artist looking down, purple eyeshadow and a green earring, a red head wrap
Overhead, pedestrians cross the wave-patterned pavement past a line of street stalls, long shadows across the stone
A covered market alley hung with caps and shirts, a man seated on a stool with his back to the camera
A motion-blurred child in a pink dress runs through a golden field trailing a white cloth
