Waiting installation - Zürich →

Installation at the Wipkingen train station.

Viel Warten hat dieser Raum ertragen müssen.

Warten auf ein Wort,
einen Anruf,
ein Lachen,
einen Atemzug

Ausharren auf erwartete Leute

Das dunkle, schwere Gewicht des Wartens, immer noch spürbar in diesem Raum.

Waiting installation - St. Gallen →

This cabin has endured all the wait.

The wait for hearing a word
a call
a laughter
a breath

The wait for expecting people

This dark heavy bulk of waiting is still in this cabin.
