Recordist's notes

In mittlerer Höhe, auf dem denkmalgeschützten, heute aber stillgelegten und zum Spazierweg umgenutzten Bahnviadukt, kündigt sich der auf nächsthöhere Ebene vorbeifahrende Zug bereits von Ferne an: zuerst ein Grollen, dann ein Sirren, schliesslich sein ganzes Gewicht, das alles andere verdrängt. Obwohl der Ort beinahe menschenleer ist, projiziert sich allerlei Menschliches über die gegenüberliegende, nun funktionslos gewordene Brandschutzwand eines Wohnblocks zu dem erhabenen Ort. Art and the City: Hans Josephsohn (Grosse Liegende, 1995-2001) http://www.artandthecity.ch/de/kunst/hans-josephsohn/
