This installation was created to connect the visual artworks of Eri Kassnel and Jakob Krattiger in a joint exhibition with them. The whole exhibition was themed around issues of changing places, the passing of time, and memory. Eri Kassnel's works were about the return to Timişoara, the city where she spent her early childhood. Jakob Krattiger exhibited a series of photographs and a video about the dismantling of a local high-rise office block. I prepared two tapes, one of Kassnel's field recordings from Timişoara, the other with field recordings from a bike ride between the dismantled office block and the company's new premises. During the opening of the exhibition, both tapes were played simultaneously from two portable cassette players. I moved the cassette players through the gallery space while visitors spoke and moved about and recorded the whole process. The recording, which is documented here, was burned onto a CD on site during the opening. Running as a sound installation for the duration of the exhibition, it contains sonic references to the works by Kassnel and Krattiger, but also to the process of moving in space (the cassette players) and time, because the opening night of the exhibition remained connected to the duration of the exhibition through the exhibit itself.
