> One guy wanted me to put fireworks in his coffin so they went off during a parade, another guy wanted to be naked, lying on his front and for me to write "kiss this" on his a for when he had an open casket viewing. This reminds me of Swiss kinetic artist Jean Tinguely: his coffin was followed by one of his mechanical sculptures with noisy fireworks and smoke… He was also known as a “party perturbator” [1] (article in German). Another one of his surprises, a bit unrelated but noteworthy: a “major auto-destructive performance, a work called La Vittoria, in front of Milan Cathedral in 1970. La Vittoria was a 10-metre-high phallus made of papier-mâché, spiked with fireworks, and then set on fire.” (I stress that the installation was set up in front of the “Duomo”) [2].
