Synopsis

"Being and Nothingness" makes the parameters of the generation of music visible. Music is poured into pictures: What you see is what you hear. Conductor Beat Furrer appears as the tamer of time and the master of silence. The individual musicians are only visible in the extremely brief moments in which they play, with their bodies representing the notes on a visualized score. The progressive deconstruction of the music is accompanied visually by a deconstructed image.
