The Nature of Silence (2012) documents the moment and location of the 60th anniversary of the premiere of John Cage’s most famous work 4’33”. Shot on location at Maverick Hall near Woodstock New York, this work suggests that Cage’s interests may not have been just about silence, but in landscape and the environment, as Cage’s chosen venue, Maverick Hall, is a partially outdoor venue in the Catskill Mountains.
