Softcover with loose dust jacket, open thread stitching, 11 × 17.5 cm, 192 pages
Edition: 500, design: Astrid Seme, 2023
This book is a transcript of hours of bus rides through London. Conversations, soundscapes, and announcements are meticulously written down, with priority given to the loudest noise or the loudest voice(s). The result is a dense textual fabric, a hybrid between documentation and poetry. In the process, Miggitsch creates a portrait of a sound environment that belongs to a particular place.It is not surprising that Susanne Miggitsch actually comes from photography. Her textual recording of what she hears is reminiscent of a photographic process and its attempt to depict what is seen one-to-one. Both, of course, capture only fragments: “I really tried, but I'm afraid I have to admit that I was not able to capture it all with just a pen in my hand.” The book is to be understood as a script/score and will be performed by several voices when it is presented.
