DEAR ECHO

DEAR ECHO is a publication that stitches together a collection of voices, emerging as a new synthetic one. The one of Echo. Echo, the nymph who got cursed by goddess Hera, and lost the ability to have a voice of her own. Echo, whose curse gave her the gift of only being able to speak the very last words spoken in her proximity.

In the middle of it all she fell in love.

Because she wasn’t able to articulate how she felt, her body faded away. The publication is presented alongside a series of blankets, enabling the visitors to wear the voice of Echo, while at the same time giving Echo another body to return to.
