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

This time I lay upside down in the grave with a chain attached to my feet. I was pulled out of the grave while films and slides about Robert Oppenheimer and death were projected onto me. In a microphone I repeated: “Now I am death the destroyer of worlds”. The sound of my voice was electronically distorted into an unearthly grinding and thundering by Paul Hurst.
(17 September 1983)
