Description of action In my hands I am holding two big palmleaves, around my shoes are two red books bounded, like sandals. I put one palmleave infront of me and make a step on it. I put the other one in front of me and do again a step on it. I walk in this order until I reach a certain point in the room. I look each visitor directly in the face. I turn off my bookshoes, open the books a put it infront of my face, take a deep breath and exhale in four directions, the cardinal points. With yellow chalk i write the ALPHA and OMEGA sign on the cover. With streched arms I hold the books aloft. I strike one book on the other and rub them with all my force against each other. After severel times I place them on the floor and try to stand on the hardcovers. The books giving way. I am writing the word ILLUSION with my hand in the air and strike myself strongly after each written letter in my face. I lift up my shirt and scratch with my fingernail the word READ on my belly and show the red marks to the audience. With the strings I bind the books around my head, write with chalk READ on the wall and leave the room.
