- Wolf Kahlen
- The Sound Of One Hand Clapping
- (John Cage at one of his last concerts)
- 1990/99
- color, stereo sound, S-VHS, 18 min.
- Gaps, emptinesses, chances and silences are methods of Cage's works. And in
- a way of this tape too. The main actors here are hands, actionless or acting,
- nervous or waiting. And clapping. John Cage as careful watcher of his own
- works beeing performed at the Akademie der Kuenste der DDR on August 1,
- 1990, a few months before his passing away. The title corresponds to Cage's
- zen-buddhist philosophy and life style, which again is reflected in the above
- mentioned methods. Wolf Kahlen pays homage to these.
