The audio environment of the video piece ECHO DAYS uses decelerated and thus audible echolocation sounds of bats flying through cities and landscapes. The camera equally flies over urban and rural panorama scenes, its images only flashing up in the silent gaps of the composition. Like afterimages they fall onto the blank screen, optically reflecting each echolocation signal of the soundtrack.

The work ECHO DAYS understands image and sound as mutually exclusive yet echoing phenomena and reveals the outside world as a reconstruction of absent structures by our senses.
