Spatial situation: An office and exhibition space, separated by a high wooden wall.
Material and preparations: In the wooden wall, at a height of three meters, sawed-out holes into which various body parts fit: Knee, hand, foot, hip, face part. Holders for the bodies are attached to the side of the office space. A cardboard box on the wall as a lectern for X as prompter.
Procedure: In the exhibition room, the audience stands in front of the wall with the holes. X sits on the holders in the office space and puts body parts through the appropriate holes, making them visible to the audience. Lying down, Y fills in other holes. X prompts Y with the names and merits of people and institutions they would like to thank. Y repeats the names in a loud, calm voice. After 15 minutes, everyone is thanked.
