Nothing In My Pockets

was originally a sound diary, conceived for the Atelier de

Création Radiophonique de France Culture, that was kept between July 4th and

October 4th, 2003. In that new and innovative experimentation, Laurie Anderson

unfolded her daily life as an artist, microwaved it and presented herself as more than a

diarist: she became the electronic sound architect of her own existence.

The sound diary that Laurie Anderson presents here also offers unpublished visual

documents through the pages of a book. The opportunity is for an intimate journey into

the personal universe of the artist through a series of daily leaps: from her New York

studio in Tribeca to the numerous travels and landscapes she crossed over the whole

three month period.
