She assigned a passive role to herself, with the public being the force which would act on her. Abramovi?? placed on a table 72 objects that people were allowed to use (a sign informed them) in any way that they chose. Some of these were objects that could give pleasure, while others could be wielded to inflict pain, or to harm her. Among them were a rose, a feather, honey, a whip, olive oil, scissors, a scalpel, a gun and a single bullet. For six hours the artist allowed the audience members to manipulate her body and actions. Initially, members of the audience reacted with caution and modesty, but as time passed (and the artist remained passive) people began to act more aggressively. As Abramovi?? described it later: —What I learned was that... if you leave it up to the audience, they can kill you.?? ... —I felt really violated: they cut up my clothes, stuck rose thorns in my stomach, one person aimed the gun at my head, and another took it away. It created an aggressive atmosphere. After exactly 6 hours, as planned, I stood up and started walking toward the audience. Everyone ran away, to escape an actual confrontation.?? ^^ Just somethin' intredasting I forgot about & stumbled upon again, recently. What provoked the public to react in such way to her passivity? Kind of reminds me of Nicole Kidman's character in Dogville and the way her pleasing and passive nature brought out the worst in the townspeople. Feel free to contribute with performance art pieces you know of and thought were fascinating, enlightning, disturbing, whatever. =)
