«[…] important for me are several resonances of the word suspension. First, I want to suggest the state of being suspended, a looking or listening so rapt that it is an exemption from ordinary conditions, that it becomes a suspended temporality, a hovering out of time. […] But at the same time a suspension is also a cancellation or an interruption, and I wanted to indicate a disturbance, even a negation of perception itself.»
