A model remake of my 1995 performance 'Marteling van de Heilige Erasmus'.

Erasmus of Formia was a Christian saint and martyr. In ca 303 his abdomen was slit open and his intestines wound around a windlass. This version may have developed from interpreting an icon that showed him with a windlass, signifying his patronage of sailors. 'The Martyrdom of Saint Erasmus' is a ca 1459 triptych panel painting by Dieric Bouts in the collegiate church of Saint Peter's in Leuven, Belgium. It commemorates the martyrdom and death of Erasmus of Formia. I performed 'Marteling van de Heilige Erasmus' in 1995 on the last day of the exhibition 'De Gemartelde Tijd' in the Kapel van de Romaanse Poort in Leuven.
