With the help of a radiologist, Delvoye had several friends paint themselves with small amounts of barium and perform explicit sexual acts in medical x-ray clinics. When he was not an active participant, Delvoye observed from a computer screen in another room, allowing the subjects enough room to perform uninhibited,  although Delvoye has descibed the whole experience as "very medical, very anti-septic." The pages are transparent, but with a white page underneath they are clear to see, as shown in the photos below, which creates a very playful experience: well designed by Maria Rebelo Lopes.

Published on the occasion of the exhibition at Beaumont Public in Luxembourg, June 29th to October 5th 2002.
