Rosenfeld s surround-sound installation „Delusional Situation“ was created for and first exhibited at the Whitney Museum s 2002 Biennial Exhibition, in New York. She describes the DVD-A, 9-minute Surround-Sound 5.1 work s name as a reference to the poem "Ich kenne dich" by Paul Celan containing the lines: "You all, all real, I all delusion."

As well as being a love poem, "Ich kenne dich ..." seems to me to formulate in a beautiful way a person s problematic situation between inner and outer consciousnesses, or inner and outer worlds. Where is the real reality? Outside of ourselves coming in? Inside ourselves and flowing out? In "Delusional Situation" I attempted to translate this problem into a sonic idea: the listener is in a real world, made of sounds. The listener is observing from the centre and then suddenly from the periphery, and then to a new centre, and on and on. The sounds from guitar fragments (performed by many sheer frost orchestra volunteers) that I then remixed on vinyl and finally dismantled and reassembled again in Pro Tools, describe not an inner world, but an outer world imperfectly filtering in. The listener s location is not fixed in this world, nor are the meanings of the communications s/he is hearing clear.

Since the first performance of the composition in 1994, this project has been performed by many different ensembles trained to perform Rosenfeld s invented electric-guitar-improvising technique; it was documented in 2001 on the CD the sheer frost orchestra - drop, hop, drone, scratch, slide & A for anything (Vienna: Charhizma, 2001).
