About work

Los Angeles, 10 September 1978

With my feet tied to a painted beam, I crawled along on my stomach to some painted bricks with lit candles positioned next to them and a 500-watt reflector placed among them and slightly behind them so that l wouldn't burn the string I was holding in my hands and mouth (these were positioned above the candles fixed to the bricks), and so I might better avoid cutting myself on the razor blades lying along the ground.
