aether1.org Penelope Wehrli The piece changed/shifted. The trip was a process of transformation. Sleep came slow as we move towards the city / towards the gallery / towards the bed of salt – as the person became the piece.
The records taken were records of a disappearance; they were insufficient prove that either the piece or the transformation had really taken place. It could have been a fraud, an art fraud. After the phase of sleep, traces of appearance were left on the bed of salt. But these too could have just been arranged.

It became a piece of trust. – B.E., P.W., 5/7/87
