BirthFactDeath (x) Sunday 27th of August 1995 29 years ago
36-year-old performance artist Danny Devos aka DDV performs 'Marteling van de Heilige Erasmus' in Kapel van de Romaanse Poort, Brusselsestraat 63, Leuven, Vlaams-Brabant, Belgium. 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.
