The
tape from an empty cassette lies on the floor in a loop. It slides
through the artist’s hand as if it were being read, the performative
act is documented in video form. Afterwards the magnetic tape is manually rewound and digitised. Any sequences without sound are cut and then put back on cassette. The steady rustling sound is played in the installation alongside the video and becomes - together with the text - an asynchronous entity within the space.
