4’33” Notre Dame

the interior of notre dame cathedral in paris with a row of arched and columns along the left side of a section of wooden chairs in rows, roped off for crowd flow, and about half full of people sitting. in the central aisle with a diamond patterned stone floor a white guy with a gut in a blue polo shirt has his arm raised to take a photo. in the distant background on the right are the apse with tall narrow stained glass windows, taken in aug 2025. also there is a title, 4'33", in white helvetica on the center left of the image, because this is a cover image for a performance of john cage's work now.

I made a recording of 4’33” in Notre Dame, and even when I edit it to 4:32, it is showing up as 4:34 seconds long. Well, I will not use the computer to deceive you with an incomplete performance. You deserve the entire 4’33”, and that is what you get.
