Beuys, clothed in a hat and felt suit, wandered around the room with a dead mouse in his hand. Later he spun the mouse on the spool of a tape recorder and used a silver spoon to eat a passion fruit, whose seeds he dropped with a bright, resounding tone into a silver bowl between his feet. Along with an electric light bulb, a candle, and a cross. . . . Fox had two metal pipes of different lengths, which he banged against the floor and against each other, producing bell-like, pulsing sounds. He also knocked the pipes against the four panes of a dismantled window unit, by observing the resulting resonances, he found acoustically dead spots in the glass. Then, one after the other, he smashed the panes. Now he could reach through the window, grasp the candle behind it, and place it in the middle of the room. He tried to influence an open candle flame with the sound waves from the pipes. (Osterwold 1998, 17)
