How can Nietzsche’s fear of the Eternal Return made comprehensible, even if it may fallen victim to wrong interpretation?
Elke Reinhuber's approach to explicate this problem is a vinyl record of an endlessly reiterating sound, which emphasises the idea of infinite repetition. Although here the sound will slowly and slightly change due to physical disintegration from dust or abrasion of the material.
And - possibly the biggest difference to real life - the spectator/listener can interfere, speed up, slow down, stop or even physically manipulate The Eternal Return.
