«Modern Minimal Disco»
«With ‹modern minimal disco 4› the visitor has to step onto a steel pedestal placed centrally in the exhibition space in order to be able to put on the headphones. As an exposed viewer of the exhibition in the midst of the exhibition he acoustically dives into a paradoxical space of experience – a space that is continually and endlessly speeding up. Here the sub-frequency parts of the accellerating pulse, perceptible only as shock waves, are directly transmitted as vibrations via special headphones and pedestals to the listener. Who – now separated – becomes part of the work and as such is himself exhibited while observing.»
