Reverberation in time

In this, political debate becomes a mere residue of speech, amplified then reverberated as metaphor for the unforeseen repercussions of war. The idea comes from Heinrich Boll’s “Dr. Murke and his collection of silences” * where the psychoanalyst edits tape interviews with patients by joining gaps in conversation to make a sequence of silences. *Doktor Murkes gesammeltes Schweigen.
