Sound poem / Ouyang Yu
In June 2022, at the launch of our Sydney Road space and the opening of Edwina Stevens’ exhibition, Moonee Moonee Underpass 2020, poet Ouyang Yu shared his poem《啪啪》written in response to Edwina’s sound work of the same name.
Read the poem below or listen to a recording by the talented Assistant Producer Yonghui (Donna) Huang.
Below the poem, you can also access the original sound recording and leaf through installation shots of Edwina’s photographic images, which also form part of the work.
