About work

Prague, 28. 12. 1974

 

After looking at my portrait (photograph) on an improvised „altar“ lit by candles, my assistant took some blood from my vein with a syringe. This I mixed with my urine, hair and nails which I had cut off. I then drank this potion, again my eyes fixed on the „altar“.
