I lay on a bench while a tattoo artist does his job.
I am dressed in a black overall and balaclava.
I repeat the following words until the work is finished.
“Nous voulons chanter l’amour du danger,
l’habitude de l’énergie et de la témérité.
We want to sing the love of danger,
the habit of energy and fearlessness.
Wij willen de liefde voor het gevaar verheerlijken,
de houding van wilskracht en stoutmoedigheid.”
(Marinetti, ‘Futurist Manifesto’, 1909)
