"Hear, There, Where the Echoes Are" is a piece with an increasingly sculptural and performative dimension. Several projectors are orchestrated for a synchronised light projection activated and rhythmized by a live sound performance of drummer Chad Taylor. The light beams echo the beat in a choreography that seems to disassemble the cinematic device and dissolve the image. However, the latter is conjured up in another way and another space. As the title suggests, the image appears as the instant intersection of the installation, the architecture, and bodies passing through.
