The photo series was created during the video screening of a performance in which I myself took part. The photos emerge from a reality that has been performed, recorded, and archived. They represent a multi-layered, sedimented interpretation of the real, an echo of an echo.

The work asks what happens when human experience is structured by algorithms and interpretation of the world is outsourced to non-human systems, to echoes of echoes. The logic of data accumulation contains layers meant to remain hidden. 

The descent into these layers is not metaphorical but political: It leads to places where architectures of algorithmic power are negotiated. Spaces that have become opaque and difficult to contest. It leads to sedimented zones of storage, control, and archiving, where power concentrates and where technological infrastructures quietly reshape social life. The deposits at the bottom of these layers often evade public accountability, even as they transform entire societies. 

Nestled bodies propose an alternative form of sedimentation: They suggest that human connection can generate spaces where algorithmic control cannot fully take hold. Yet such intimacy remains a fragile interstice.
