The 5th Literary Quartet, broadcasted on TV [ZDF] on 10.03.1989, shows Sigrid Löffler, Jürgen Busche, Marcel Reich-Ranicki and Hellmuth Karasek, discussing about the book Lust (1989) by Elfriede Jelinek. Sigrid Löffler, the woman representing the only woman dictated content, can barely work out a speech portion of more than two minutes. Madamma Shhhhht (2023) is a redaction of absence as amplification. In this version all gentlemen are muted.  /                        original
