It possesses great potential when married with concerns of site-specificity. Oh yeah, and it may just be Hecker’s best!

More Tim Hecker More Tim Hecker



Many may find this work dark and haunting, while others may find it mostly envelopes them in spaces of beauty and wonder. No matter one's inclination to sway toward either extreme, there's little doubt that Virgins majestically communicates the vast paradoxes of experience; or more appropriately, what it is to experience sound. This experience may be at odds with the quick-fix satisfaction and disposability of our time. However, it possesses great potential when married with concerns of site-specificity. Oh yeah, and it may just be Hecker's best!
