Note du spécialiste

But what odd pilgrims they are! They run this way and that. They run with little arms stretched out before them, heads leaning back and closed eyes – an army of sleepwalkers.
– Stephan Trescher (M. Rothenberger, Lullaby Supermarket, exh. cat., Nuremberg, Institut für moderne Kunst, 2001, p. 13.)
