One of his best-known projects, the series I GOT UP, was executed between 1968 and 1979, consists of dated postcards that he mailed to colleagues around the world and then reassembled for exhibition purposes. On each postcard he informed the recipient of the precise time he awoke on the day he mailed the card.
