Ecce Iterum
Latin for ‘see again’, the three artists participating in the site-specific exhibition ‘Ecce Iterum’ look at Chester Castle in new ways through sound, photography and sculpture. Kate Gater’s sound art compositions reference the city and its castle’s important historical role as a port and trading centre. Meanwhile, Alexandru Modoi considers the relationship between the past and the future through digital and analogue photography and Estelle Woolley juxtaposes sounds sculptures with objects (pictured above) that are sited in the alcoves on the stairwell of the castle’s Agricola tower.
