Translations of Die Sonnette an Orpheus & Duineser Elegien 

The book was shredded and each sequence placed in a pan and covered with water.  They were boiled until the essence of the poems was transferred to the water. The liquid was collected using an eyedropper and mixed with sugar pills. 













Below is a video of me explaining the process and giving the pills to around 40 people in the audience. 
The translation is complete when the pills have dissolved in their mouths.
