In 1974, artist Marina Abramovic performed a work entitled "Rhythm O" in which "she permitted a roomful of spectators in a Naples gallery to abuse her at their will for six hours, using instruments of pain and pleasure that had been placed on a table for their convenience. By the third hour, her clothes had been cut from her body with razor blades, her skin slashed; a loaded gun held to her head finally caused a fight between her tormentors, bringing the proceeding to an unnerving halt."
This stuff is going the same way sex has gone in all of the ‘arts’ - it’s becoming laughably banal. These are supposed to be grown-up people, for goodness sake. They’re like tittering kids playing games that they flatter themselves will shock.
