'The four long white dresses hanging from the beam range from an immaculate one to another one hit by the first spurt of blood from the animal, and the most drenched one of all. In the background, a photograph shows two hands holding a piece of gut. Two hands cupped as in an offering. In front of the dresses, on the floor, three crosses made of fabric equally stained by the animal’s blood. Finally, on the left-side wall, several pieces of paper. On each of them, the imprint from a duly identified piece of gut, signed by the author of the action.'
