This is part of performance art series based on the Old babylonian text "Maqlu" (Burning) which has nine tablets. Each performance deals with one of them. It is a kind of protective ritual text. Every performance is a site-specific action for a particular space.

In this performance I have transmuted the text into poems written on bed linen. There have been tests for sexually transmitted diseases put in space.
