Echo: Core

Part of Museum Without Walls: MoMI x Tezos

In the ancient Greek myth of Echo, the cursed nymph is condemned to only repeat the words of others. Auriea Harvey reimagines the story in the monumental sculpture Echo (2024, detail pictured above). Featured in the exhibition My Veins Are the Wires, My Body Is Your Keyboard, this work depicts Echo’s form transmuting into the mountainous terrain where legend has it she resides, caught in a silent process of metamorphosis.

Echo: Core serves as a companion fragment of the larger work. The essence of Echo’s transformation is encapsulated, with entwined elements of earth and ice representing land, stone, and a frozen voice. Visitors have the unique opportunity to take home their own editions of this landscape. By acquiring one of these editions, viewers become part of a larger narrative, symbolically echoing one another through the shared experience of claiming the artwork. Stop at the MoMI x Tezos station in the lobby to collect the digital work.
