The artist’s concept for this performance in Venice contains texts written in four languages, some of them not identical in content, on a single sheet of A4-format paper. His performance directions read as follows:
I WILL CONCENTRATE ON THE SOUND OF THE WATER AT THE PIER THEN I WILL MOVE AWAY FROM THE WATER AND INTO THE PALACE UNTIL I THINK I CAN NO LONGER HEAR THE WATER UNLESS [IT IS] ITS REPRODUCTION I WILL BRIEFLY PAUSE FOR THE VISUALIZATIONS OF THE ROARING NOISE WITH A SWIFT STROKE AND THEN MOVE AWAY TO THE MAIN AND/OR SIDE ENTRANCE. AFTER 11 MINUTES IT WILL ALL BE OVER
This piece of paper also contains a drawing with the site’s layout, including the landing pier and the palazzo. The lines that visually represent the sound of the Jew’s harp overlay the aforementioned layout in a wave-like fashion, thus also evoking water, its (sound-)waves spreading out across the performance site. S.E.
