Zürich.: Kunsthaus Zürich., 1977. Original printed glossy card wrappers, plastic spiral binding.. (29.5 x 21 cm).. pp. (18). Black-and-white xeroxed photographs.

The works consisted of the construction of a 2-meter wide and 20-meter long dark tunnel with multiple bends, through which the individual must pass, experiencing strong winds, smells and the rather offputting presence of 60 seated people, 30 men and 30 women.
