Steve ReinkeAn echo is the return of an originating voice in a distorted and diminished way. In ‘Echo Valley’, there are no originating voices, but only endless, undiminished echoes.

Images out of the oeuvre of the artist appear and move by slowly in a perfect white landscape as if they were floating in a vacuum. Buses, cottages, a table, trees, lighting posts, groups of tourists with their cameras ready, a doorknob. The objects move along in an endless procession...
