“Echoes” is a multimedia installation influenced by surrealism, as well as post modernism, while focusing on the phenomenon of dislocation along with the subversion of image and space. This project aims to make use of a variety of art media and techniques, combined with the medium of video. Inspired by psychoanalysis and specifically by Sigmund Freud’s “Uncanny” theory and the phenomenon of metamorphosis, transformation and representation, the “Echoes” installation attempts to guide the audience through a distorted and unfamiliar space, where sound and image struggle to dominate the space and examine viewers’ perception of reality.
The installation is based on an experimental short film which shows people’s dual relationships combined with their loss of identity in modern society. In other words, it describes the way people hide themselves and their feelings as they become more and more trapped in their routine, and it investigates the limits of presence, the visible and representation.
