Was würden sie sagen? Würden sie das Spannen des Auslösers hören und im Schlaf (auch sie) das Echo der nicht endenden Salven? Würden sie seinen Atem hören? Des Jägers Atem oder den Atem der Beute?

Installation
196 photographs (framed), each 13 x 18 cm, pane of glass, 36 x 36 cm, text (typed on paper), 36 x 36 cm, white wooden pedestal, 99.5 x 38 x 38 cm
The photographs were taken on March 16, 1971 during the performance of the same title in Neuwied (17). Without the aid of a tripod, a series of photographs was taken of a factory smokestack as rapidly as the camera mechanics allowed. The performance ended after 196 exposures when the camera broke down. The prints are mounted on a wall in front of which a pedestal shows the text.
On the basis of the performance and the installation the Photo/Text Es schien ... (It seemed ...) (195) is realized.
