Anna Maria Maiolino, New York, 1969 © Anna Maria Maiolino
As millions around the world endure the isolation and seclusion demanded by the coronavirus, Maiolino offers these two poems, one composed in 1971 toward the end of her time in New York, and reflective, in its linguistic opacity, of her insistent selfhood; the second, written in 1976 in Rio de Janiero during Brazil’s military dictatorship, is a paean to the fundamental satisfactions of a room, four walls within which exists the possibility of creating something new.
