About work

Prague, 31. 5. 1979

I squatted in an unstable position (on the tips of my fingers) and lightly touched wooden plates with two bottles of spray standing underneath them. As soon as I started to fall over I leant against the wooden plates which pressed against the spray mechanisms which in turn set off the contents of the bottles. This was repeated three times. During the short breaks between the individual „acts“, my assistant hurled large cans of insect spray above my head in the direction of the wall, one by one.
