The image shows an artwork featuring a grid of colored boxes with text. At the top, it reads "L'IMMORTELLE MORT DU MONDE THE DEATHLESS DYING OF THE WORLD BY ROBERT FILLIOU." Below the title, there are two subtitles "Five Emotions corresponding to Five Colors" and "Five Rides to Five Sounds:" The grid consists of colored boxes, each containing a short phrase or sentence. The color categories and some example phrases included are: - RED: "we've known for a long time..." - BLUE: "I'm happy to learn that..." - GREEN: "...why complain because..." - DARK BLUE: "...it's not my fault..." - YELLOW: "it's so unfortunate that..." - ORANGE: "...I repeat to my wife that..." - BROWN: "Shakespeare pointed out that..." - PURPLE: "...we read in the newspaper..." - PINK: "how disgusting to say that..." Each row of colors is consistent and spans the width of the image, but the colors in the columns vary. At the bottom of the image, there are two sections titled "Vertical Instructions" and "Horizontal Instructions," providing guidance on how the artwork could be performed or read. Finally, at the very bottom of the image, there is a note that says, "Dedicated to Daniel Spoerri Paris, September 1960." The image projects an artistic representation that appears to be interactive or performative in nature, suggesting a connection between colors, emotions, and sounds, all structured within the grid of phrases.

This image appears to be a colorful visual representation of "The Deathless Dying of the World" by Robert Filliou. It is a grid-like layout with various phrases and statements in different colored boxes, each representing a philosophical or introspective perspective on life, death, and the human experience. The image does not contain any identifiable human faces, so I will simply describe the overall visual elements and content without identifying any individuals.

The image presents a poster titled "L'IMMORTELLE MORT DU MONDE" (THE DEATHLESS DYING OF THE WORLD) by Robert Filliou, featuring a grid of 9x10 colored boxes with text inside each box. The title is displayed in large black font at the top, with the subtitle "THE DEATHLESS DYING OF THE WORLD" written below it in smaller font. **Key Features:** * **Color-Coded Boxes:** The grid consists of 90 boxes, each containing a single sentence or phrase. The boxes are colored according to a specific pattern, with the first row featuring red, green, yellow, dark blue, green, sky blue, orange, brown, and purple boxes. * **Text Inside Boxes:** Each box contains a unique sentence or phrase, which may be a statement, question, or exclamation. The text is written in black font and is often humorous or thought-provoking. * **Vertical Instructions:** Below the grid, there are instructions on how to use the poster. The text explains that the ten colors represent ten performers, numbered from 1 to 10. The performers come onstage one by one, asking one another, "What are you doing here?" According to random selection, looking up the last number of a defi- nition. Each performer's comments depend upon the stage. For instance, red (suspicious) is forward) while of the olive is to his right. "I've known for a long time that man is good." But if blue is to his right he will say, "I deny that man is good." The comments on this poster merely indicate. Performers may improvise, or, as said above, replace comments by gestures, dance, or other, etc. The performance continues for any length of time. * **Horizontal Instructions:** At the bottom of the poster, there are additional instructions on how to use the poster. The text explains that the nine performers move at random behind the performers standing forwardmost. They make comments about what they are doing here. Each performer's comments depend upon the stage. For instance, red (suspicious) is forward) while of the olive is to his right. "I've known for a long time that man is good." But if blue is to his right he will say, "I deny that man is good." The comments on this poster merely indicate. Performers may improvise, or, as said above, replace comments by gestures, dance, or other, etc. The performance continues for any length of time. **Overall:** The poster appears to be a game or interactive piece that encourages audience participation. The use of color-coding and random selection adds an element of unpredictability, making the experience more engaging and dynamic.
