Repetitionen (HD, 21', 2016)

He who walks down the street, over there, is immersed in the multiplicity of noises, murmurs, rhythms. […] By contrast, from the window, the noises distinguish themselves, the flows separate out, rhythms respond to another. […] No camera, no image or series of images can show these rhythms. […] The observer in the window knows that he takes his time as first reference, but that the first impression displaces itself and includes the most diverse rhythms on the condition that they remain to scale. […] Rhythms always need a reference, the initial moment persists through other perceived givens.
Henri Lefebvre, Rhythmanalysis
