The video Eidolon (2020) is a free adaptation of an excerpt from the dramatic text Helen, by Euripides (412 BC), consisting of an overlapping of traditional shadow theater techniques, phantasmagoria spectacles, silhouette animation and videographic language. How do presence effects occur in illusory measures of time and space? How to envision the place of a body as a representation in the immaterial, digital and two-dimensional? This hybrid-spectrum-body incorporates notions of shadow, double and phantasmagoria to evoke possible synergies between ancestry and technology, image and desire.
