Friday 16th of October 1970 (x) — Wiener Aktionist Hermann Nitsch performs his 34. Aktion. Nitsch' 34. Aktion lasted two hours. The 'exhibition,' as it was also dubbed, was observed at first by about 300 students, but after the actual work on the carcass began, the number dwindled to barely half that figure. During the show, several students became ill. Some of the girls in the crowd were sobbing.
