Description

Franz Erhard Walther designed fifty-eight individual objects in cloth, comprising a ‘work set’. The objects are completed through the visitor’s use.

#23: Gleichzeitigkeitsstück (Simultaneity Piece)

Four participants lie between two layers of cloth, on their backs, with their heads towards each other to render silence palpable. In this imaginative act, a mental connection forms between the participants.
