Black and white photograph of a photo-collage depicting the artist's head, hands, arms and lips in various states. Centrally, there is a flower-like grouping with lips featuring on the 'petals', and two 'petals' falling away. In the top-left corner of the image frame, there is a hand written message in French: 'Ici le bourreau prend des ains de victime. Mais tu sais a quoi t'en tenir. claude.' (Here the executioner takes on the air of a victim. But you know what to expect. claude'
