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

The 7 kg bomb was hidden in a bag on a bicycle parked next to the road that the assassins knew Herrhausen would be traveling in his three-car convoy. The bomb was detonated when Herrhausen's car interrupted a beam of infrared light as it passed the bicycle. The bomb targeted the most vulnerable area of Herrhausen's car – the door where he was sitting – and required split-second timing to overcome the car's special armour plating.

20-year-old performance artist Danny Devos aka DDV performs 'Anarchy!' in Galerie Valckesteyn, Koevoetstraat 23, Bergen op Zoom, Noord-Brabant, Netherlands. Because I had problems with the owner of the gallery concerning my performance I tied him up read an explaining text and hung him with his feet from the ceiling.
