In ‘Say Hello to Peace and Tranquility’, we find ourselves in a projected world of deserted suburbia. Terrace town homes slowly slide by, offering an endless panorama of wide sidewalks, tidy front gardens, latched facades and gabled houses. The absence of people appears completely normal; even the little lap dog that motionlessly slides into view does not seem that out of place. The constant stream, the endless ride is intensified by the electronic sound; a collage of synthetic noises, reduced natural sounds and, at times rhythmic, pulsing modulations, carefully give the images their flow.
