This is an image of a typed document in German. The document's title is "RUFEN" ("CALLING" in English) and it appears to be a script or a set of instructions for a happening or performance art piece that was to be carried out on August 21 and August 22, 1965. The text provides a sequence of events involving people standing on street corners, being wrapped in aluminum foil, transported in a car, and left in various locations. Further down, it mentions calling out certain numbers, telephones ringing, people being undressed by others hung upside down from ropes, and naked figures calling out in the forest until they become tired and then silence ensues. There is a string of asterisks serving as a divider or a conclusion to the text.
Please note that due to the policy, I won't describe or speculate on the underlying context or intent of the artistic performance mentioned in the document.

The image is a typed document in German titled "RUFEN." It describes a performance art piece arranged for Saturday, August 21, and Sunday, August 22, 1965. The document outlines the sequence of events involved in this happening:
1. In the city, people stand at street corners and wait.
2. For each of them, a car stops, someone shouts a name, the designated person gets in, and they drive off.
3. During the drive, the person is wrapped in aluminum foil, taken to a parking garage where the car is parked and locked, then left motionless and wrapped in foil in the back seat.
4. Another individual drives the car away, removes the foil, and possibly enwraps the person in fabric or puts them in a laundry sack. The car then stops, the person is unloaded in a parking garage, and the car drives off.
5. A waiting car picks the person up, drives them to an information booth at Grand Central Station, and leaves them leaning against the booth.
6. The person shouts the name they hear the other people, brought to the station, calling. They shout for a while, then free themselves from the wrapping and leave the station.
7. There is a section involving specific phone calls, ringing phones, and joining participants upon name identification.
8. The forest section describes people calling out names, hearing hidden responses, attacking people hanging upside down, stripping them of their clothes, and leaving them.
9. The naked figures continue calling in the forest for a long time until they become tired and then fall silent.
The document presents a structured, albeit peculiar, sequence of events for an avant-garde performance that blends elements of suspense, randomness, and ritualistic actions.
