One day after his programmatic Berlin statement in the overcrowded Hamburger Bahnhof Liam Gillick answered in a nearly intimate interview – aside the turbulences around "the Brit, who was surprisingly nominated to represent Germany at the Venice Biennale in the German pavilion" concerning questions about his person and approach. A vividly Audio CD resulted from the recordings of the lecture and the interview. The alternation between private and public person triggers an intense suspense. When it seems possible to pin down Gillick explicitely, he cleverly withdraws to open up a new facet of his parallel thinking.
