Birth(+)Fact(x)Death(-) Calendar

I repeated the text “The Lips of Osiris Ani, Triumphant, are the Lips of Anpu” with my head immersed in water. The sound was amplified by a hydrophone. AMVK read passages from the Egyptian Book of the Dead. The sound was amplified by a microphone. Behind us a film was projected with images of mouths of humans and beaks of animals.
