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

I filled golden paper bags alternately with earth from my hole and ‘Yves Klein’ blue paint, and tied them to a piece of canvas. Then I hoisted the canvas up so the bags formed a figure. I hoisted myself up upside down and pulled at a rope until I was hanging at a distance away from the canvas, let go and swirled like a projectile against the canvas which made the bags tear and the earth and the paint were mixed and spattered around.
