    This small text piece was part of Jimmie Durham’s installation Approach in Love and Fear at Documenta IX in 1992. It hung on the outside of the L-shaped wall inside which most part of the artworks were presented. According to the artist, this is an authentic text from 1370 BC which sets the tone for what the visitor will see next.
