stainless steel mirrors, megaphone

duration: sempiternal  

A megaphone built into the short end of a protruding v-shaped mirror appears as a multi-petalled flower in Narcissus Echoes. When drawing close, one witnesses a remorseful confessor - the artist - who has gone through numerous répétitions (repetitive interrogations, torture and theatrical rehearsals) only to become another descendent, a new echolalic agent of the ideology of the System. He speaks within a cluster of “truths”, revealed to him under mental and physical abuse in prison. In solitude - where no “alien” thoughts could penetrate - the artist confesses his socio-political, sexual and cultural subversive sins.
