“Echo’s Hunger” at Schiefe Zähne, Berlin

Cursed to repeat the words of others, Ovid’s Echo is never able to articulate herself fully, constructing a Self only through fragments of the language around her. In a tale of fractured subjectivity, repetition, and unfulfilled desire, the Lacanian ‘I’, lingers as a fiction. Here, the Self emerges as contingent on language and its law.
