A sound and light environment based on four modified telephone booths. With solo, Bernhard Gal continues his artistic investigation of the perceptual potential and interactions of sound and light.

The title of this installation does not refer to a solo performer, but to the intimacy of the percipient
– four phone booths are turned into such spaces, offering a private experience within public space. The visitors get
confronted with their own perception and awareness.

Each phone booth displays a designated colour, for these four light spaces in red, green, blue, and violet Bernhard Gal created
corresponding musical compositions. The windows of the phone booths are covered with colour and transparency films,
resulting in different light and translucency constellations, depending on the time of the day.

The installation was realized with used phone booths kindly being provided by the Austrian phone company Telekom Austria.
