First edition. Almost all the photos are from Atlas der Gerichtlichen Medizin (published in the G.D.R. in 1963), also showing tied corpses, or men who have committed suicide during sado-masochistic practices, some of which at first glance resemble performances of the Vienna Actionist Rudolf SCHWARZKOGLER (1940-1969), one of the people to whom OSTERMAYER dedicated this book… Literary texts by Fritz OSTERMAYER, about lethal masturbation machines and their creators. “God is a Death from the Socket”. Artist’s book.
