Echo Chamber
An interactive and participatory exhibition about self-image.
It invites visitors to explore how our image is shaped, transformed, and shared today.
About Echo Chamber
Installed in a container, Echo Chamber is an immersive exhibition offering a journey through a series of artistic and participatory installations that invite visitors to experiment, observe, and question their relationship with self-image.
Echo Chamber also extends into a virtual space, where visitors can discover additional artworks, content, and perspectives on how we perceive and represent ourselves.
Designed especially with young people in mind, the exhibition creates a space for discovery, reflection, and dialogue around how we see ourselves and how we choose to present ourselves to others.
Self-image plays a central role in the social, emotional, and digital lives of young people. It influences how they present themselves, compare themselves with others, assess their own worth, and seek recognition and a sense of belonging.
Today, an image is no longer simply a reflection. It is created, staged, shared, and constantly reinterpreted. It circulates, changes, and can sometimes escape the control of the person who created it, influencing not only how others see us, but also the way we see ourselves.
Through interactive experiences, artworks, and participatory installations, Echo Chamber brings to light mechanisms that can sometimes be difficult to identify. The exhibition explores questions of identity, the gaze of others, interpretation, and consent, inviting visitors to reflect on the images they create, transform, share, receive, and interpret.
Selfies, stories, filters, likes, comments: today, our image is constantly shared, transformed, and sometimes escapes our control. What do we choose to show? How do others see us? And how can we remain true to ourselves in a world where images play such an important role?
Echo Chamber explores the many influences that shape our self-image: the gaze of others, social media, our experiences, our emotions, social norms, and much more.
