:59:05
This is my body.
:59:07
And I learned to say,
"Well, I'm not gonna get another one.

:59:12
So I'm gonna use this one
until it's all used up."

:59:16
One of the things I'm gonna try and do
is a posthumous piece

:59:19
where I want to be buried
with a videocamera just like this,

:59:23
encased in a tomb or something.
:59:25
And someplace in the museum,
:59:26
or one of my crazy collectors
that I'm gathering--

:59:29
this is a good way
to make money beforehand, you say,

:59:32
"lf you'll pay me
a certain amount of money now, you can

:59:35
have the pleasure
of having a monitor in your house..."

:59:41
"...and the piece is called 'The Viewing.'"
:59:47
I'll have to spend money
to have a satellite, I guess--

:59:49
connection to the video monitor.
:59:52
And every now and then,
whoever wants to walk in this room-

:59:54
turn on a switch--
they can see how I'm progressing...

:59:59
...or decomposing.
1:00:18
Will you say on video that when you die,
1:00:20
what happens to all your stuff?
1:00:23
It all goes to Sheree.
1:00:25
All my stuff goes to Sheree
when I'm dead.

1:00:28
- Everything?
- Everything.

1:00:31
- All your writing?
- All my writing, everything.

1:00:34
- All the art?
- All my art.

1:00:36
- Your clothes?
- All my t-shirts.

1:00:39
How about for your mother?
1:00:41
You want to be able
to give her something.

1:00:43
- I 'll give her my stuff.
- Like what?

1:00:45
Like what, for example?
1:00:50
No! No, no, no.
She doesn't get the whips.

1:00:52
- Sex books.
- No-- I get all the books, too?

1:00:55
- Sheree gets...
- Just say it.

1:00:58
-Yes.
- Say "Sheree..."
