Birth(+)Fact(x)Death(-) Calendar

The audience entered the space through a glass door. Then I tied a thin rope to the outside of the door lay down on the ground and tied my feet to two posts on the street. The other end of the rope I swallowed. The performance stopped when someone opened the door from the inside.

20-year-old performance artist Danny Devos aka DDV performs 'Mexico' in Koninklijke Akademie voor Schone Kunsten, Berouw, Gent, Oost-Vlaanderen, Belgium. ‘Mexico’ was a small part of a botanic garden, planted with cactuses, surrounded by water. I tried to crawl through a plastic tube through the water, but the pressure of the water was too heavy and it didn’t work.
