That same day Jones coaxed 910 inhabitants of Jonestown including 303 children into a mass suicide by drinking cyanide-laced grape-flavored Flavor Aid. At the end of a 45-minute recording made during the mass suicide, Jones concluded: "We didn't commit suicide; we committed an act of revolutionary suicide protesting the conditions of an inhumane world."

 25-year-old performance artist Danny Devos aka DDV performs 'La Chute des Anges Rebelles' in 1693 Waversesteenweg, Oudergem, Brussel, Brabant, Belgium. In an abandoned house I was laying in a room, half covered by a blanket, tied up and with my head in a metal cage. On the wall hung a work by AMVK about a kidnapped Italian boy. |
