“Rorschach Audio” + Zinedine Zidane ****

“When you are immersed in the game, you don’t really hear the crowd. You can almost decide for yourself what you want to hear… I can hear someone shift around in their chair. I can hear someone coughing. I can hear someone whisper in the ear of the person next to them. I can imagine that I can hear the ticking of a watch.” – Zinedine Zidane, “Zidane”, Douglas Gordon & Philippe Parreno (2006)
