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

A variation on the L’Age d’Or nr 2 performance, where my feet were tied to the floor, and I tried to pull myself off the ground via a pulley and a rope around my neck. Using a throat-microphone I repeated “I wanna be injured”, the sound was electronically distorted by AMVK.
(2 April 1987)
