I Wonder What the Silence Was About (one), 2010 PAL/ sound /15'20''
I Wonder What The Silence Was About is a body of work speculating on the (temporary?) disappearance of Art in Ruins. Formed in 1984 by Hannah Vowles and Glyn Banks, this English collaborative art practice was active in the London/Berlin art scene. After a distinct political and artistic practice they fell silent in 2001.
Their silence is booming and makes their critique not even more powerful but open to speculation, leading me to talk to numerous people, who worked with the two artists in the past. These interviews form the basis of a series of short films and a forthcoming publication.

“The captain addresses the crew, which is longing to come home. She is anxiously trying to get a message across. It’s night-time. Stormy weather. No terrestrial channels, but digital waves, a public service announcement to all travellers – nous sommes embarquès at the blue bus. The message cannot be heard. What is the content? What is spoken? No further information is provided. The message board is about to blow… up. Once in a while the captain comes through hurtling down 400 ft to certain death and wonders: What does it all mean?”
