In 2005 a series of seven books with hand written texts and integrated piezo loudspeaker elements was made for an exhibition at the Bibliothèque Robert Desnos in Paris within the festival Instants Chavirés. This led to the development in 2006 of several works with books and paper: à lire en silence (to be read in silence) ­ a first series of artist’s editions containing small notebooks with original handwritten texts, piezo loudspeakers attached directly on top of the texts, an audio CD and a display box; and à voir en silence (to be seen in silence) ­ a second series of artist’s editions containing handmade papers with piezo loudspeaker elements, an audio CD and a display box. In à voir en silence the thin piezo loudspeaker elements and their associated wires are integrated directly into the paper at the papermaking stage. The speaker elements in all of these works recall earlier installation pieces in which small loudspeakers are arranged in plant-like forms. Silent Music, the best known installation of this kind, has been installed in countless museums and public spaces since 1994. In comparison to these installations, however, the artist’s editions deal with a much more personalized listening and viewing experience. They are meant for »private« rather than »mass« consumption.
