Marina Abramovic, in one of her works clarified that she wouldn't move no matter what you do.

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.

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.
