Internationally-acclaimed photographer Emily Andersen presents Somewhere Else Entirely, a three-screen video installation exploring the life and work of American-born poet Ruth Fainlight (b.1931). Known for her intensely visual writing on memory, domestic life and psychological experience, Fainlight has been a distinctive voice in British and American poetry for over six decades.
Andersen’s poetic film, her first moving-image work, translates Fainlight’s words and lived experiences into still and moving images of the domestic, the natural world, and the written page. Accompanied by a photographic portrait of Fainlight, the installation forms a non-linear essay that pays homage to the poet’s creativity, resilience and independence.
