Promenades exhibition in the Parc Lullin in Geneva, Max Neuhaus installed a work in a pedestrial tunnel linking two parts of the park. On walking through the tunnel, the listener hears the sound become louder and clearer, and has the impression of approaching the source of the sound. However, on leaving the end of the tunnel and entering the open air, the sound suddenly becomes inaudibile. The chance of location from tunnel to park is linked with the unexpected absence of the sound which until then had caught the listenerís attention and aroused expectations of arriving at the source of sound. Insted od the source of the sound, the park emerges as the place where the sound is not.
