LIPS OF THOMAS Performance I slowly eat 1 kilo of honey with a silver spoon. I slowly drink 1 liter of red wine out of a crystal glass. I break the glass with my right hand. I cut a five pointed star on my stomach with a razor blade. I violently whip myself until I no longer feel any pain. I lay down on a cross made of ice blocks. The heat of a suspended space heater pointed at my stomach Causes the cut star to bleed. The rest of my body begins to freeze I remain on the ice cross for 30 minutes until the audience interrupts the piece by removing the ice blocks from underneath. Duration: 2 hours 1975 Krinzinger Gallery Innsbruck
