150 Poems Put in Blood (1993)

Overview

An "action" by Michel Journiac, performed at the book fair on March the 16th, 1993, where he exhibited 150 poems marked with his own blood. Michel Journiac had a blood sample taken in public and then spread the blood on three plexiglass plaques on which Fernando Pessoa's words were written : "Outside all this, there is Christ, who knew nothing about finance - and, it seems, didn't have a library". The works were then attached to a background and exhibited before the public.
