about

A book with 36 drawings, coming with a CD that features short soliloquies, both vocal and (electro-)instrumental. As the title suggests it is an intimate and introverted utterance, and as such has a special place in my work.

The motto from Thomas Bernhard's "Verstörung", first in the original German and then in English:

Alle führten nur noch Selbstgespräche, sagte der Fürst, "wir sind in einem Zeitalter der Selbstgespräche. Die Kunst des Selbstgesprächs ist auch eine viel höhere Kunst, als die Kunst des Gesprächs", sagte er. "Aber Selbstgespräche sind genauso sinnlos wie Gespräche", sagte der Fürst, "wenn auch viel weniger sinnlos."

Everyone just talked to himself, said the prince, "we are in an age of soliloquy. The art of soliloquy is also a much higher art than the art of conversation," he said. "But talking to yourself is just as pointless as talking," said the prince, "although much less pointless."
