Die Katze spricht.

Speaker:
Was spricht die Katze denn?

Tape:
Du sollst ...

Speaker:
... dich mit dem Abendblatt in Sacktuch wie Kartoffeln kleiden
und diesen Anzug immer wieder wenden und nie in neuem Anzug sein.

Tape:
Katze spricht.

Speaker:
Du solltest die Marine streichen, die Kirchen, Mohn und Nasenbluten,
auch jene Fahne sollst du streichen und Asche auf Geranien streun.

Tape:
Du sollst.

Speaker:
... so spricht die Katze weiter, nur noch von Nieren, Milz und Leber,
von atemlos saurer Zunge, vom Seich der Nieren ungewaschen,
von alter Milz und zäher Leber aus grauem Topf; so sollst du leben.

käute, sollst du mit deinem spitzen Blei, Askese schreiben, schreib:

Speaker:
Askese.

Speaker:
So spricht die Katze: schreib ASKESE.

The cat speaks.

Speaker:
You shall shade brides and snow with a sharp pencil,
you shall love the gray color, be under clouded skies.

Tape:
The cat speaks.

Speaker:
What does the cat say then?

Tape:
You shall ...

Speaker:
... dress yourself in sackcloth like potatoes with the evening paper
and turn this suit again and again and never be in a new suit.

Tape:
The cat speaks.

Speaker:
You should erase the Navy, the churches, poppies, and nosebleeds,
also erase that flag and strew ashes on geraniums.

Tape:
You shall.

Speaker:
... thus the cat continues, only of kidneys, spleen, and liver,
of breathless sour tongue, of the piss of unwashed kidneys,
of old spleen and tough liver from a gray pot; that's how you shall live.

And on the wall, where earlier the green picture endlessly chewed the green,
you shall write Asceticism with your sharp pencil, write:

Speaker:
Asceticism.

Speaker:
Thus speaks the cat: write ASCETICISM.

The image shows a page of text with a list at the top and dialogue-like text below. The page is part of a book or a printed booklet, and the left edge indicates that it is either glued to the spine or possibly stitched (sewn binding), as this is not visible. The list is divided into three columns labeled "DONORS," "PATRONS," and "BENEFACTORS." Under each title, there are names of individuals or couples, possibly contributors to the publication or an event related to the content of the book.

Below this list, the title "COLLAGE" appears, followed by the names "Robert Gauldin" and "Klaus Huber," both of whom seem to be featured in the text that follows. The text describes musical works and provides a snippet of a script or commentary about the pieces or performance. The text mentions the Eastman School of Music in Rochester, New York, and references music reminiscent of Bartók and Stravinsky.

The dialogue-like text starting with "Speaker:" and "Tape:" may be part of a performance script or instructions for a multimedia work involving spoken word and tape recordings. The script contains both directions and spoken lines, some in German, and hints at being part of a more artistic or experimental context. The speaker directive is followed by German text, which, if translated, reads as a somewhat abstract or poetic dialogue involving a cat speaking, which might be symbolic or metaphorical.

There are no visible people or identifiable personal information in the image that would breach privacy or ethical considerations. The overall look suggests it could be from an academic or cultural document, such as a program or script for a performance or installation that includes contributions from various donors and patrons.
