“This piece was primarily a trust exercise, in which she told viewers she would not move for six hours no matter what they did to her.  She placed 72 objects one could use in pleasing or destructive ways, ranging from flowers and a feather boa to a knife and a loaded pistol, on a table near her and invited the viewers to use them on her however they wanted. 

Initially, Abramović said, viewers were peaceful and timid, but it escalated to violence quickly.  “The experience I learned was that … if you leave decision to the public, you can be killed… I felt really violated: they cut 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 public. Everyone ran away, escaping an actual confrontation.”

This piece revealed something terrible about humanity, similar to what Philip Zimbardo’s Stanford Prison Experiment or Stanley Milgram’s Obedience Experiment, both of which also proved how readily people will harm one another under unusual circumstances.”

This performance showed just how easy it is to dehumanize a person who doesn’t fight back, and is particularly powerful because it defies what we think we know about ourselves. I’m certain the no one reading this believes the people around him/her capable of doing such things to another human being, but this performance proves otherwise.”

Humans are naturally evil no doubt about it

It saddens me so many people have reblogged this, and so many people have felt this horrible feeling that I, too, have experienced. I wish I could do something for each soul. More than 25,000 people. Can’t believe.

More than 73,000 people now..

220,000…………………………

and counting

226,000.

And tried

Over half a million people.

This doesn’t include the people who don’t have tumblr, the younger kids, the older adults, the people too poor for Internet, the people who have already done it, the people to scared to reblog

Way to many notes, this deserves no notes at all, no one should ever feel the need to kill themselves, no one should ever get that far down, suicide shouldn’t exist, if any of my followers are ever feeling down promise me you’ll message me, I can’t lose anyone else to suicide, please if you need anyone talk to me, a friend, teacher, work colleague or even a family member, please do not turn to suicide!

every day every night

Tried and failed

Every day and night.

Newest tattoo!

It’s on my left forearm. It’s a note my mom left me the night she died. Here’s a side-by-side shot of the two.

Deserves every note.

I cried and then I reblogged

actually weeping.
