Rhythm 0, 1974 - Marina Abramović
I found a photograph documenting a performance art piece by Abramovic where she dedicated herself to the role of submission and allowed other people to make decisions for her. She placed random objects on a table and allowed the other people to pick out objects to use on her. By the end of the performance, people had torn her clothes off, inflicted pain, and even held a gun to her head. I found this performance really intriguing, as well as the use of photography as a way to document a performance that I was clearly unable to attend. It's similar in the way that I approach photography, as I tend to use it as more of stills from a performance than as anything else.
