Silent Echoes

An exhibition by Alexandre Levi
28, May 2026 7, Jun 2026

DESCRIPTION

Inspired by abandoned houses in Hakodate, Japan, Silent Echoes is a series of risograph prints that focuses on traces of departure: bandaged letterboxes, taped windows and torn curtains. Developed from photographs of akiya—abandoned homes shaped by migration and demographic shifts, echoing the artist’s own experience of living between countries—the works are rendered in vivid monochromes of violet, aqua, green and neon pink, moving beyond natural colour to heighten texture and atmosphere.

The risograph process magnifies traces of repair and decay, transforming them into quiet surfaces of meaning. More than studies of ruin, the series reflects on continuity, memory, and the silent endurance of urban and social change.

Alexandre Levi is a French Polish artist based in Berlin whose practice combines photography, risography, drawing and installation. His work reflects on presence and what remains, exploring how meaning emerges through traces shaped by migration and departure.
