In a series of works, Neuhaus has presented spaces identical in their contours, light values, and moods by using different sound installations: for example, the Two Identical Rooms (1989) for Harald Szeemann's exhibition in the Deichtorhallen in Hamburg, the startling virtuosity of which consisted not only in the different experience of the spaces but also in the fact that the sound did not issue from the wide entrance.
