Performance artist Ida Sophia is based in Adelaide, South Australia. Her 2021 show Regret was an emotional tribute and reckoning with one of the heaviest emotions we have. For 28 days Ida sat for 6 hours a day, not speaking, not eating, not making eye contact. She faced a huge floral installation and wore a cape upon which people pinned small plaster tablets they had written their regrets on.
Watch her performance on ABC Artworks - Ida comes on at about 19 minutes 30 second mark. I strongly urge you to check it out.
In today’s episode of Interview With An Artist, we talk about the training and preparation that goes into a work like regret, how the idea came into being for the show, and about giving space to emotions that maybe we try and push aside.
Ida Sophia is a woman of great capacity and deep thought, and it is my absolute pleasure to have her on the show this week.
