>>speaking with Robert
speaking with Robert is an intimate dialogue which happened between me and Robert Ashley in “the back yard”.
I mostly cannot catch what he is saying and for sure he cannot catch what I am saying.
nevertheless the dialogue keeps on going and images appear.
where do they come from?
I cannot write down the dialogue as it happened cuz I mostly do not understand what he says.
nevertheless you can follow how the conversation deploys by listening to the track with the voice of Rob.

I start to notice he is speaking to me after a while so I start to answer him only starting from 4’33’’.
You can try to use this dialogue text as a script and read my part to answer to Robert or try to have your own conversation.

R:
I’ve seen her coming down the stairs
R:
she enters in the gallery

she puts her hands on the floor
R:she looks away from difference and discrepancy
she walks on her fours
R:
she does a piroette
R:
he s happy
R:
he starts to touch himself
R:
it seems they know each other very well
R:
I don’t know, now…
R: people are gathering in the back yard
maybe it’s time to quit
R: this is the celebration of the changing of their life
there is water inside
it’s coming from the ceiling
R:they passed the time
she lays down
she imitates a dead body
….
now he comes
close to her
and he starts to massage her
as a cat on her shoulders
R: I wouldn’t say that
the hair are now sweat
it is raining inside
he takes off his hat
the rain comes down from his face
and on her face too
dled que-aiy
something is burning
the house is burning
the walls are burning
they are full of flames
the ceiling is collapsing
it goes down
down
it goes down
R: the back yard is the south
R: behind dred ignor the constellation rains in the magic of the architecture
there is nothing anymore
R:maybe that’s a little too much
just a very light light
its…
it’s a lake
a yellow lake of light
R: ……without reality
she slowly get up
R: …celebration of changing of life
R:…studying her watching her…
she starts to dance again
R:
her hand to the ceiling
R:
there is no ceiling
R:
they are falling
R:
they are turning around each other
R:
head down
feet up
then down
R: she is so beautiful
head up
the hair cover now her face
R:
they are both naked
R: this is the hour of the mystery o—-
theirs skin is dry
they hug each other
R: 2_ do they never rest?
they fall as a ball together
R:….made in China they do exactly what they do (alive?)
is there someone watching?
R:
is there someone who is interested in?
there is no more time
R:
only the falling
R:
the shoes
the coat
R:
they speak at the same time now
they overlap
they lip-sync each other
R:
no i cant’
R:
(laugh)
R:
you speak to laud
R:
I cannot hear you
please speak lower
R:..other idea
I’m crossing your border
R:
I’m becoming you
R:
there is a blue light now
R:
only the red points…
(music grows)
they walk while touching
they fall with us
nobody is into it
the phantom of the light
(big crash)
R: (monologue)
(I cannot understand anymore what I say)
R:
something else is disappearing
R: two
one
R:
nobody’s there anymore
R: 3, the twilight
the space is empty
R: twilight 4
only the red points
R:
they grow in lines
R:
big explosion
R:
implosion
R:
another light
I feel some hitch
R:
I put one hand in my pocket
R:
from there I massage my groin
R: what’s going on?
what’s happened there?
R: I’m not the same person what I used to be
