Abramović's six-hour performance placed 72 objects (from rose to loaded gun) on table for audience to use on her passive body. The work explores power, vulnerability, violence, and human nature. As performance progressed, audience became increasingly aggressive. The work demonstrates how quickly civility collapses and violence emerges. Abramović's endurance art pushes consciousness and embodiment to limits.
