BirthFactDeath (x) Friday 11th of October 1985 41 years, 4 months and 21 days ago
26-year-old performance artist Danny Devos aka DDV performs 'The Lips of Osiris Ani, Triumphant, are the Lips of Anpu' with Anne-Mie Van Kerckhoven aka AMVK at the Animal-Végétal exhibition in Drève de Rivieren 340, Jette, Brussel, Brabant, Belgium. I repeated the text “The Lips of Osiris Ani, Triumphant, are the Lips of Anpu” with my head immersed in water. The sound was amplified by a hydrophone. AMVK read passages from the Egyptian Book of the Dead. The sound was amplified by a microphone. Behind us a film was projected with images of mouths of humans and beaks of animals.
