Artist's book.
This text puts forward a series of procedures to follow, which substitute not only for the biblical injunctive form of the Decalogue, but also for all modern forms of ideological injunction (watchwords). In an absolutely correct line, the reader/narrator chants a programme which, if followed, guarantees a certain social transparency. This manner of moral, decent and often absurd self-imprisonment, is experienced by each of us, at best as an accomplished form of freedom, at worst as a "lesser evil".
