"The gallery is empty except for supporting pillars. But the emptiness is articulated by sound. Astral voices float far above you, a murmuring buzz, occasionally broken by a rapid fire of fragmentary argument that shoots back and forth. This is Clinic… And as you pass through it, triggering off sensors, the voices descend to speak to you personally, to report the out-of-body experiences that Hiller has tape-recorded from people of all creeds and cultures. As you listen the whole atmosphere seems transformed. You stand transfixed amid the spaces, staring upwards through distant skylights, searching as if for something unexplained that lies beyond language. No answers are offered. Hiller may work with sound, but her pieces, like all great art, open out to silence. " Rachel Campbell-Johnston The Times, London, May 15, 2004
