Project summary:

Through history the human species has partaken concoctions for the enhancement of their sexual prowess and pleasure.

Many of these so-called love-potions/aphrodisiacs are made up of ingrediants which are harmful even in small quantities and taken as an overdose, many of these drugs will cause a heightening of the blood pressure giving the feeling of an orgasm and ultimately cause death.

The Christ knifes are also cocktail stirrers - religion has through over 2000 years been used to stir up trouble in the name of love.

The verse on the test tubes is lines taken at random for a tape of love songs, which together illustrates the feeling of death and love.
