City of Echoes
Immersive monumental installation
Die Blaue Nacht Nürnberg, Germany
2025


“Where do we find love when everything crumbles?
Where does peace hide in times of crisis?”

City of Echoes is a monumental video projection that transforms the Künstlerhaus into a dreamlike urban refuge. A place where echoes breathe, and time seems to stand still.

In a world marked by urgency, conflict, and collapse, this immersive environment offers a poetic retreat. It invites you to slow down, to listen, to feel. To notice the smallest of things—the flicker of light, the murmur of a voice, the echo of a moment that once brought peace.

Subtle sonic layers—fragments of urban life, traces of nature, soft voices—emerge and dissolve like half-remembered memories. Light and shadow weave through the space,
creating a delicate choreography of stillness and intensity. The atmosphere feels both intimate and monumental, haunting and tender.

Quiet shivers—as though the walls carry emotion, as though something is being
remembered, or perhaps forgotten. It's a space of delicate reflection, of soft resistance.

A rhythm that resonates not only through the room, but within the body itself.
Here, peace is not passive—it is presence.

Love is not loud—it lives in the smallest details.
Linger.
Let yourself be enveloped in this eerie calm.
Let the city speak—not through noise, but through memory, tenderness, and the beauty of what survives.

City of Echoes is not something to observe from afar. It’s a space to enter—physically, emotionally, and sensorially. A suspended moment where the past, the present, and the possible future briefly touch.
