Duration 10 minutes

Description of action Angelika Fojtuch (AF) clings on the front of BBB Johannes Deimling´s (BBB) body, while he crawls on all fours into the artspace Modelarina. He stops in front of a column and tries to shake off the clinging body. After a time of heavy shaking AF falls on the floor, her hands are jerking like an insect. BBB stands slowly up and moves proud his arms like wings, while facing the audience. In this time AF twists laying on her back over the floor. BBB's right hand is a clenched fist, that he holds infront of his eyes and moves it a little. His view focuses the eyes of the male visitors. AF crawling on all fours in the direction of the sitting audience, her head buffets on one visitors leg, but she keeps on crawling and didn´t get nowhere fast. Suddenly BBB beats with his both clenched fists on his breast and shouts. He all the time face the audience. The shouts are very impressive and loud. AF crawls on all fours into the space and comes more in the near of BBB. Her way of moving looks like a gorilla. BBB shouts and starts breathing very strongly and tries to copulate with AF. She tries to escape and makes sounds of fear. Now both change their position and walk on all fours like spiders around. Suddenly both are shaking their bodies hardly up and down. While shanking they lay down their bodies on the floor and thrash around like fishes on the land. The movements get less and less and stop after a while.
