48-year-old performance artist Danny Devos aka DDV performs 'Wie Man dem Zerrissenen Hasen die Aktionskunst Erklärt' in Kulttuuritalo Annis, Annankatu 6, Pori, Satakunta, Finland.

I took a wooden crate with 15kgs of dirt from my hole on the airplane and buried it close to the culture center. The performance started with digging up the crate to everybody’s amazement. I carried the crate inside and hacked it to pieces with a spade. I took a toy hare and removed the filling with my mouth. Then I filled the empty hare with dirt, also using my mouth to do that. Then I went to the Museum of Contemporary Art where I spread the dirt in several spaces. The empty hare was left behind at night in a children’s playground.
