Photography: Mathias Gmachl’s “Echoes — A Voice from Uncharted Waters”
Echoes — A Voice from Uncharted Waters is a 55-foot-long steel whale created by artist, designer and researcher Mathias Gmachl that features captivating light and sound effects. The installation, which is currently located on Broadway between West 38th and West 39th Streets until November 13, 2023, invites viewers to reflect on the impact of everyday activities on nature and the environment.
Co-produced by Montréal‘s Quartier des Spectacles Partnership, Vienna‘s MusuemsQuartier Wien and Lugano, Switzerland‘s LAC Lugano Arte e Cultura and distributed by QDSinternational, Echoes is part of Garment District Art on the Plazas, a year-round public art program made possible through the NYC Department of Transportation’s Art Program, DOT ART.
I had been under the weather for a good portion of the past week with a cold that just took a while to kick. I hadn’t been out of my apartment in about six days at this point and I was feeling a bit of cabin fever. So last Friday, I went out to check out Echoes and take some photos.
