The installation Rests of an Echo investigates the phenomenon of sound echo from a particular point of view.
A sound reverberating in space fades over time, leaving marks only in our auditory memory.
What would it be like if that same sound, when echoing, left traces in space?
How can we imagine the sound phenomenon affecting our ears, memory, and vision?
How to create a second space, poetic and political, that serves as a ground to catapult the visitor to a different perception of reality?
The installation was presented in the highest room in the tower of a medieval castle in Switzerland. Upon entering the space, the visitor sees a wall where particles move upwards, followed by the narration of texts and sounds chosen by the artist.
