Ecce Homo (Behold the Homo) develops a digital wax movable-type letterpress through projection, animation, writing, and biblical citation. The work draws together scripture, authorship, mechanical reproduction, confession, and the wall as a site of inscription.
The title invokes both the biblical phrase “Behold the man” and Nietzsche’s autobiographical Ecce Homo, transforming the declaration into a queer, textual, and exegetical address: behold the homo, behold the text, behold the writing on the wall.

Research Relation
This work functions as a major synthesis point for Meeting the Text Halfway. It brings together exegesis as object and exegesis as method, treating writing not as explanation after the work, but as part of the work’s material and conceptual operation.
Within the project, Ecce Homo asks how writing appears through light, wax, wall, scripture, and citation. It stages the exegesis itself as something projected, inscribed, translated, and exposed.
