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

I spread out a sheet on the floor and threw pamphlets at the audience. On a small tv-monitor played an excerpt of a documentary on Holger Meins. I placed objects and books onto the canvas and the canvas turned into a prison cell. Then I took out several ingredients for baking: butter, sugar, eggs, flour, and also some earth from my Hole. I mixed everything into dough and baked 2 classic sand-cookies. I undressed to my underwear and force-fed myself violently to eat the cookies.

8-year-old Julie Lejeune and Mélissa Russo are abducted by 39-year-old kidnapper, serial killer and child molester Marc Dutroux in Rue de Fexhe, Grâce-Hollogne, Liège, Belgium.
