1993
The final sonority which I chose for Bern is plausible in its context. Although it sounds like neither it recalls the sounds of both bells and airplanes, two common features in the local aural environment. It is also quite beautiful. In the course of making proposals for these works, it became clear that the proposal of the idea was much more frightening than it's subtle reality. In 1988, as an example of the reality, I decided to do a short term version of the concept for the Kunsthalle in Bern, Switzerland. The work encompasses a large active plaza, several parks and a pathway through a woods leading down to a river.
