Almost hermetic in its personal references, Eetc is a circuitous attempt to re-animate feelings Larcher held for his sister Elisabeth, the "E" of the title. This "feeling" is not logged as dramatic pathos, but as an evocation infecting the image-field. The work, a densely layered reverie, recycles bits of home movies, photographs, quotations, and fragments of music in a continual act of reinvention. A transitional work, Larcher's palimpsest of film images was transferred to video, then further altered and reframed. Rescued from cinema, the work now resides in an electronic and intangible medium. Eetc is finally about the transitory nature of remembrance and its filmic counterpart, the trace. Bracketing Eetc are the first two installments of vide!oslash;void, an eight-part series, containing "pretext," "context," "subtext," "cortext," etc., that could be described as "the psychopathology of everyday electronic imagery." Larcher's "void" begins with drop-out, that place within a video signal that contains no information, then expands outward to a remarkable universe, "possibly [an] empty future, filling up with itself," in his words. Appearing as a lavish compendium of electronic image-making, the void of vide!oslash;void is anything but. It brims with a fullness of meaning.-Steve Seid
