El Origen de la Noche (The Origin of Night) is an immersive sound installation by 4Direcciones Audiovisual (directed by Diana Rico and Richard Decaillet) working in collaboration with a group of traditional authorities from indigenous communities of the north-west Amazon, as well as anthropologists, musicians and linguists. Originally commissioned by María Belén Sáez de Ibarra from the National University in Colombia, the work is an assemblage of both archival and new recordings from several indigenous nations in Colombia, all dealing with the Amazonian myth of the creation of night. The sound installation is structured like a “maloca”, a traditional social unit and communal hut integral to many communities of the Amazon. El Origen de la Noche is organized into eight sequential chapters that convey myth and ritual through narration, chants, music, and the sounds of nature.

Risograph Poster for Abigail Beach’s solo exhibition.
As seen by writer Lauren Brown
Despite being engulfed in sadness; through the bitter persistence of joy; we observe an artist’s journey to self-actualization. Amid the pandemic-imposed crisis of introspection, we witness a woman sifting through the murky waters of her past to find herself, to be reborn in all her sweet, sticky glory.
The twisted, saturated strokes on canvas give us both aerial and up-close views of the duality she feels between her past and present. These thick lines and muddy colors are the artist’s struggle to break free of her colonized, Christian past and salvage the pieces to recreate something new, something her own.
Behold a woman’s determination to persevere through murky mythology; to move with a conviction one can only attribute to the insistence of her ancestors; to dive into unknown birth water, in the hopes that only through this scraping of the self can Bitter waters [be] made Sweet.
