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

I was tied to a table which I could turn over 360° by my own power. In the room next door where the public was slides of industrial landscapes were shown. The door between the two rooms was continuously opened and slammed back so only a few people could have a glance at the performance inside each time. When the door was closed you could hear loud monotone music when it was open you didn’t hear anything.
(28 November 1980)
