...suitcases bang closed and the car doors slam shut, falls silent. Or does it? Banks' poetic text and Hallensleben's richly impastoed paintings guide us through the deserted rooms, evoking the dripping of a kitchen faucet, the buckling and crackling of frost on the windows, the ruffling of a cat shaking snowflakes from its fur, even the silence of a bird sitting on its nest in the loft.
