Artwork Description |Thread Routes –Chapter 1 is the first chapter in Kimsooja’s first film project<br />
series shot in super 16 mm film. Completed in 2010, this film documents the<br />
Peruvian weaving culture, putting it in juxtaposition with Peruvian landscapes,<br />
agricultural structures, archeological sites, aswell as its accompanying depictions<br />
of gender relations. Kimsooja conceived this non-narrative documentary<br />
film after being inspired in Bruges, Belgium, in2002, by the performative<br />
elements of traditional lacemaking.<br />
Kimsooja considers her approach to this film as a'visual poem' and a'visual<br />
anthropology.'<br />
