The core imagery that forms work Echo comes from photographic high-resolution documentation of the inside of a cranium whose contents have been consumed. In the close-ups of the material, traces of handling and removal, can be detected. The animation of this imagery transforms the contents and creates something more corporeal. The work is projected vertically to emphasize its sculptural qualities. In the calm motion of the camera this transformation mediates over man’s own matter and scale, in a silent echo, in the event of space in darkness and light. The skull that was once hollowed out is made whole here in its own space.
