distant resolution

[for Jürg Frey]

mark so

Each of us stands and surveys this empty cell of time. Well,

What is there to do? And so a mysterious creeping motion
Quickens its demonic profile, bringing tears, to these eyes at least,
Tears of excitement.
– John Ashbery, “The Ivory Tower”

—for 4 performers

—in a quiet, open space (perhaps outdoors) where the performers are spread-out—

each performs 4 very slight actions (any action each time),

each of which may result in an extremely soft, brief sound;
each action may be completely independent,
or simultaneous as possible with (an)other perceived action(s)
