Paper

"Charlier also published Total’s: the Liège Underground Journal [Total’s : la revue souterraine liégeoise]—a journal that was published sporadically between 1965 and 1968. The magazine supported the group, known as Total’s Club, which had been founded by Jean-Marie Decheneux and Paul Dubar. Charlier, together with other members of the club, participated in happenings that often had a political motivation. One of the happenings included a march against nuclear weapons in Brussels, where the members walked with a transparent flag and a bandage stuck to their mouths. In this way, they supported the demonstration but, at the same time, they denounced the theatricality of the protest."
