Anne Zeitz's essay, « Please (Don’t) Pay Attention Please. Écoute, attention et distraction chez Max Neuhaus », analyzes Max Neuhaus's sound installations through the lens of auditory perception, focusing on the relationship between attention and distraction. The essay examines how Neuhaus's "discrete" installations challenge everyday sound perception, encouraging active listening over urban distraction, and exploring the psychological dimension of hearing where sounds merge with background noise, prompting reflection on unconscious perception.
