A video poem made with the poet Gabriela Villa for the commemoration of the 80th anniversary of the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki at Universidad Anáhuac México (exhibition ¡Nunca más! Hiroshima - Nagasaki, August 2025).
Gabriela Villa reads her poem over archival images of Hiroshima and Nagasaki —the explosion, the cloud, the ruins, the survivors— processed in real time into high-contrast textures. The words of the poem appear on screen at the moment they are spoken: the recording was transcribed automatically word by word, and those timings drive the red typography. Music accompanies the reading.
Text and voice: Gabriela Villa. Video, music and programming: Hugo Solís.
