A durational performance for a silent performer sitting within an orchestra, or an
ensemble, through a concert. The silent performer is indistinguishable from any
other performers on the stage except for the fact that they (the silent performer) never picks up an instrument or makes a sound. By performing silence which
is not integral to the composition while sitting within an orchestra, whose performers perform both sound and silence, the artist tries to get the viewer to reflect
on the importance of sound
and silence in music, and their role as two integral
sides of a whole which only exist in relation to each other.
