Description

In the performance space a box of 2.16 meters length and 1.14 meters width and depth - built by d'Armagnac himself - was installed. The long sides were made of glass, while the short ones were made of plastic. The sheets of glass were painted white on the inside.

For two hours d'Armagnac scraped the paint off the glass, until three circles with a diameter of approximately one meter appeared. Meanwhile the flies were attracted to the blood and the honey he had rubbed on his arms.
