PLEASE (LC) is an installation which consists of the same video extract projected successively on four large screens arranged next to each other. Lutz Bacher evokes, through these few seconds staged like a canon song, the figure of singer Leonard Cohen repeating the word "please". Paradoxically, the resulting cacophony takes the form of a sweet supplication or an invitation to prayer. "Back in Los Angeles, the denser, darker cacophony of Lutz Bacher’s four-channel video PLEASE (LC) (2013–15) clamored in the dim yellow basement of 356 S. Mission Rd. A clip of Leonard Cohen peering out from a blue curtain and singing a bar was repeated in semi-random sequence across four projectors. In the center of the room rose the show’s titular Magic Mountain (2015), a head-high pile of spikey blue modules of acoustic foam. Designed to muffle the walls of a recording studio, here they weren’t absorbing much." – Travis Diehl for X-TRA Contemporary Art Quarterly, December 2016
