Power and The Tendency to Do Violence (warning: contains images of violence and nudity)
She stood still for 6 hours and allowed people to do what ever they want on her.
Marina Abramovic, in one of her works clarified that she wouldn't move no matter what you do.
Placed on a table 72 objects, some were of pleasure, others of destruction, flowers, feathers, perfumes, a knife, a gun loaded. Invited people to use the items they want in all the ways they wanted.
Abramovic said: "first it was peaceful and shy, but quickly climbed to violence".
" what I learned was that if you leave the decision to the public, they can kill you.
I felt raped, they cut off the clothes, they stuck me with thorns of rose in the stomach, aimed gun to the head, another came apart.
The exercise created an atmosphere of aggression.
"After 6 hours, I got up and started to walk among the public. People were, they couldn't look me in the face. Escape to the confrontation " this work reveals something terrible about humanity.
Shows how fast a person can hurt you under favorable circumstances.
Shows how easy it is to dehumanize a person who does not fight, who does not defend himself.
It shows that if he provides the stage, the majority of "normal" people, apparently can become truly violent..

Ok that is a disturbing political statement. The sadism of people...hiding in the overly-civilized veneer.
it looks like her nipples were cut off.
It's sick, sad.
That must have hurt her if it was cut off. I think the thing were rose petals.
I think she is a closet sadomasochist...she secretly likes it.
@darthnava I think so, not to mention she also wants to get naked in front of people.. she has a lot of acts in public but this ones the most painful thing she has done, its violent and provoking.
yes her proclivites do not negate the results her statement shows
looks too be pretty stoopid to me.
still...everyone needs a hobby.
@everittdmickey it maybseem stupid for us but it could be important for her, everyone needs a passion to cultivate...
that's what I said...everyone needs a hobby.
