Echo of the Universe is a part of the series Van Gogh's Airbnb, where Botond Keresztesi (1987) analyzes the cultural significance of the human ear. Through the examination of objects and symbols, Keresztesi interprets narratives from the past that describe the present as well. The paintings include stock photos found on the internet and 3D rendered images. The ears in his paintings belong to unknown people. They are floating above surreal landscapes that recall the settings of science fiction films from the 1970s and 1980s.
