aus "three windows" hommage à robert lax, video installation von nicolas humbert und werner penzel kunsthaus zürich 1999

SOUNDS COME AND GO, BUT THE SILENCE REMAINS. SILENCE, UNBROKEN, EXCEPT FOR OCCASIONAL NOISES. THE SUBSTANCES IS SILENCE, DARK SILENCE. THERE`S ALWAYS SOME STIR, SOME LIGHT, SOME SOUND, THEN THEY STOP, AND THERE`S ONLY DARK SILENCE.

I WAIT IN THE DARK, IN THE RAIN, NO SOUND BUT THE RAIN. WAITING, NOT WAITING, DOING NOTHING BUT WAITING, DOES THE DARKNESS MOVE? DOES THE SILENCE MOVE? THEY DON`T, AND NEITHER DO I. ARE THEY WAITING? I HAVE NO WAY OF KNOWING.
