Beckett quote


"Every word is like an unnecessary stain on silence and nothingness"

Several works revolve around the word "nothingness", which originates from Samuel Beckett's quote on the Theatre of the Absurd.
The term "Nothingness" was chosen intentionally, as the english word represents an objectification of "nothing" in contrast to the german term of "Nichts".
The works give space to the concept.
