    Marina Abramović, Rhythm 0, 1974 To test the limits of the relationship between performer and audience, Abramović developed one of her most challenging (and best-known) performances. She assigned a passive role to herself, with the public being the force which would act on her. Abramović had placed upon 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, 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 impassive) people began to act more aggressively. As Abramović 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. photo courtesy of igoyugo , audio available @ MoMA

    To die: to sleep; No more; and by a sleep to say we end The heart-ache and the thousand natural shocks That flesh is heir to, ‘tis a consummation Devoutly to be wish’d. To die, to sleep; To sleep: perchance to dream: ay, there’s the rub;For in that sleep of death what dreams may come When we have shuffled off this mortal coil, Must give us pause. Hamlet (3.1.64-98) Carlo Mollino from Ghosts In The Snow

    To die: to sleep; 
    No more; and by a sleep to say we end 
    The heart-ache and the thousand natural shocks 
    That flesh is heir to, ‘tis a consummation 
    Devoutly to be wish’d. To die, to sleep; 
    To sleep: perchance to dream: ay, there’s the rub;
    For in that sleep of death what dreams may come 
    When we have shuffled off this mortal coil, 
    Must give us pause.

    Hamlet (3.1.64-98)
