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

In a cellar I placed my self-made ladders against the walls. I walked through the space blindfolded and my hands tied behind my back. Johan Desmet walked behind me to guide me but sometimes he kicked my foot and I fell down. Everybody left about right away.
(5 June 1980)
