The 13 hours piano concert Vexations (Pages Mystiques) by Erik Satie
performed at the Ruine der Kuenste Bedin 1988
1988/99
Color, Stereo, S-VHS, 38 min.
The documenting camera was held inclined clockwise changing hour by hour,
to complete more than a full circle, while the audience listened, slept, read,
enjoyed himself, chess playingtalking, drinking, or getting into trance,
hyperactivity or numbness, like the pianist Ulrich Sperl and
his assistant eventually. Music as furniture, whose existence you forget after a while,
as Satie saw it.
The video document conceptually pictures the atmosphere.
