Experiencing Interruptions?

Visual poems

“Visual Poems” (2026), by Regina Pouchain and Fabio Bola.
Fabio Mourilhe
This video art was created from a photograph of Regina Pouchain's posters displayed on a wall in the “Abyssal Turn” exhibition at the Argentine Consulate, with the addition of a soundtrack and animation.

The video is not limited to a mere documentary record of the installation of an exhibition. It transforms the physical space of the gallery and the two-dimensional works into an experience that breaks with syntactic linearity and brings a typography that is freed from its purely communicative function to assume a plastic and spatial function. The letters are now images. The “A”, the “O”, and other letters scattered throughout the prints do not necessarily form sentences, but act as blocks of color, vectors of direction, and geometric shapes. The boundary between what is read and what is seen is blurred, with a text that becomes texture.

Classical statues, stylized faces, indigenous icons, geometric patterns, and vibrant, contrasting colors participate in an explosion of free associations in works that take on a life of their own, dancing and rearranging themselves autonomously.
The friction of the paper, knocks on the wall, cracks, rhythmic clicks, and other noises of the assembly compose the soundtrack. These noises transform the gallery wall into a percussion instrument with constant tension. By amplifying them, weight and texture are attributed to an experience that goes beyond the purely two-dimensional. The viewer can "feel" the weight of the paper and the roughness of the wall through listening.

Pouchain and Bola's video redefines the concept of an art gallery. Instead of a silent and contemplative space, the white wall becomes a dynamic canvas where sound, movement, and graphic design collide.
