Description
Statement of the artist Peter Weibel:
"I am holding a speech about the end of time. At the same time blood runs out of my arm into a glas canvas, which covers the whole tv-screen ( the camera is located behind the glas canvas and remains static). The glas canvas (= the tv screen) is filling up with blood until the whole screen is covered and I am no longer visible." Taken from a sketch for the performance.
Shown at the tv-show "Club 2" on ORF at 3/8/1979.
