Anthropophagic Saliva, 1969
A group kneels around a person who is lying on the floor. The individual participants have spools of thread in their mouths, from which they unroll saliva-soaked threads and cover the person lying on the floor with them. This gradually forms a net. As soon as the spools are completely unrolled, the seated participants cover their own faces with the saliva-soaked net. The inside of each person is therefore turned inside out and absorbed by the group. The thread links the individual people together and unites them in a collective body.

Life structures, 1966
This net made of rubber bands is activated by a group. Several participants place their hands and feet, or their entire body, in the net at different points and move around the room. Every movement made by one person has an effect on all the others. Everyone is connected and the group feels like a collective body.
