Chiara Ambrosio: Monochords

Monochords is a suite of 336 linocuts by London-based Italian filmmaker and visual artist Chiara Ambrosio, produced daily in the space of one year in response to Yannis Ritsos’ collection of one-line poems by the same title. Ritsos, an advocate for the Greek Resistance during WWII, composed the poems in August of 1979, at the end of one of many political exiles on the island of Samos.
