Artist Statement:
Based in part on the mythological story of Odysseus’ encounter with the Sirens, Last Call refers both to the promise of desire and the desire of promise. In it, a set of sails constructed from metal wire resonate with the movements of visitors, and this resonance is broadcast by speakers placed at a distance. When a visitor is near the sails, they can hear their image calling to them; as they move towards the speakers, the sound of their image fades away.
