In these Safety Instructions Hans Bryssinck holds speeches in which he attempts to say something truthful. Because he fears to say something truthful and because he fears loneliness he invites a guest alongside an object or a machine that relates to them. This can range from bikers (motorbike), cyclists (bike) and green workers (chainsaw) to householders (vacuum cleaner). The dynamic that is created between the speech and the guest with his machine describes the struggle of speaking and hearing the truth.

These are short and spontaneous performances that are adapted according to the context. The space in which they take place, the guests and the content of the speech may vary.
