Echoes by Danny Gordo

We live within an atmosphere of distraction so constant that it begins to feel natural. Attention is siphoned quietly, an inch at a time, until distraction seeps into what should be sacred and the sacred learns to perform instead of simply exist. We reach for the phantasm and call it the Form, mistaking the shadow for the thing casting it.

Echoes is a meditation on what happens when presence gives way to performance, and the most intimate parts of human experience begin to take their shape from forces outside us. The series inhabits the distance between what is genuine and what merely resembles it, asking how much of our inner lives remains our own when we are no longer fully present within them.
