Marina Abramovic
A performing artist who in 1974 she created a series of works called “Rhythm.” In Rhythm O which took place in Naples she invited members of the public to do whatever they wanted to her for 6 hours with objects laid out on a table. The objects included: scissors, condoms, a whip, various food items, and even a loaded gun. People cut her clothes off, stuck rose thorns in her stomach as some women wiped tears away from her eyes. The piece was about what the audience can do to the artist as she does nothing - the power that the audience has.
Gotta love a woman devoted to her art.
