Cannibalism, 1969
A person lies on the floor and wears a suit that has a pocket in the stomach area containing various fruits. The other participants kneel around her, their eyes are blindfolded with a cloth. They reach into the waist pocket of their suit and help themselves to the fruit. In a sense, they eat the insides of the lying person who is blindly exposed to the process.
Life Structures, 1966
The net made of rubber bands is activated by a group. Several participants put their hands and feet or their entire body into the net at different points and thus move around in space. Every movement made by a single person also affects everyone else. Everyone is connected to each other and the group feels like a collective body.

Cannibalism, 1969
One person lies on the floor wearing a suit with a pocket in the stomach area containing various fruits. The other participants kneel around them and are blindfolded. They reach into the belly pocket of the suit and help themselves to the fruit. In a sense, they eat the insides of the person lying down, who is at their mercy.
