The style of an old hall. Dressed in a blue concert jacket, the artist opens the window, thus increasing the space. Recorded applause can be heard. A multiplicity of gestures in one gesture. The permanent rhythm of the gesture is a hand held over the eyes. A weight is tied to the hand using a bandage. The fascination of incessant action. In the silence, the performer walks up to everyone present, lifting an old clock-spring to each spectator's ear and striking it lightly. Everyone has the opportunity to hear this subtle, melodic sound. At the start of the event, the audience is riveted by the performer's gesture, which is then brought round to each spectator individually as a sonic signal. The gesture becomes a sound. End of performance.
