A multi-speaker, electronic, spacious and spatial performance from Florian Hecker.

In this response to the Self Cancellation project, Lee Patterson dissolves medicine in glasses of water and explores the sonic content.
Personal Spaces: inversion of a territorial bell, confusing the realms between rehearsal and performance, public and private space.
One of the great experimental films. A 60 minute, three part riddle that maybe approximates our intellectual development by moving from imageless words to the recognition of silent images and the learning of simple tasks and finally a serenity and acceptance of death.
