Leslie Rech - Echo | A Natural State - Episode 3

Kaltura

Leslie Rech's multimedia installation, "Echo," was based on shapes and forms of the landscape as seen in an aerial photograph. The representation was also a key to materials most abundant in the park: dirt, stones, pine needles, twigs and pinecones. The installation helped the viewer explore connections between their immediate surroundings and the greater surrounding natural and manmade landscape.
