Curated by Steven Valera, through an echo brings together the work of Second State Press members Nick Mittelstead and Erin Margaret Murphy, two printmakers working in the tradition of reproduction.

Mittelstead and Murphy ask what is gained and what is lost by regarding every photo as both disposable and forever fixed in truth. In their individual practices, they appropriate photographic images in an attempt to wrestle meaning back from camera lens, to go beyond the reality that the photo promises, to find truth - if it exists at all.
