1990 : AES-NIHIL,

Yes indeed, the books have arrived on july 19th or so. Find included your copy of the catalogue, you'll also find some other pictures of my work in there. There's maybe an article in a newspaper that will have a photo of the MANSON-installation, if it arrives in time I'll include it in this package, if not I'll send it later with pictures of it when I have some.

We just returned from a trip to Czechoslowakia, where we visited some of the castles of ELISABETH BATHORY, the female Vampire. All were in ruins but quite impressive anyhow. The country is quite rough, people don't speak any language but their own and aren't too keen on tourists, finally we kind of had to move out of the country because of a shortage of petrol, there are only very few petrol-stations, and now they had lines of up to 300 cars lining up, all these Czechs pushing their cars to save the littlest bit. As usual we brought lots of relics including stone-fragments from the ruins and bones (although I doubt they're human) found along the castle-walls.

OK that's it for now, as said I'll send photos when available. Probably I'll put the MANSON-installation also in Antwerp later this year.

All the best,
