His best work
CAGE
Cage the composer says:
silence doesn't exist
because you always still hear
the circulation of your own blood.
But now if I always
hear silence
of among other things
the circulation of my own blood,
what then, Cage?
Hans Andreus (1926-1977)
(tr. Cliff Crego)
De componist Cage zegt:
stilte bestaat niet
want je hoort altijd
het ruisen van je eigen bloed.
Maar als ik nu altijd
de stilte hoor
van o.m.
het ruisen van mijn eigen bloed,
wat dan, Cage?

I might just mention here, following the simple ethical principle,
First, do no harm, that I never use cars or trucks or snowmachines.
Instead, I do everything on foot, or bike or ski. I think this in a
direct way affects my work, and deeply affects how I see
the world. So all the photos above were approached
on foot—including all the 'in between spaces,' sometimes
involving journeys of weeks or months.
I would not want to work any other way.
