Just Me

“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.”

this is why performance art is important

So every single person who told me ‘ignore them they’ll go away’ and ‘you can’t let them know they bothered you’ and ‘They’ll stop if they don’t see you react’ and all that bull shit, my entire school career, I want you to look good and hard at this.

I want you to think about what you said.

What you keep saying.

What you are telling your children.

You are making them powerless.

Yo, it’s one universal law but two sides to every story
Three strikes and you be in for life, mandatory
Four MC’s murdered in the last four years
I ain’t tryin to be the fifth one, the millenium is here
Yo it’s 6 Million Ways to Die, from the seven deadly thrills
Eight-year olds gettin found with 9 mill’s.

Eyedea’s second poetry book. Came out after he passed. This is an excerpt of one of his pages from his own journal that was printed into the poetry book. The following is the transcription.

” … And so he looked at the price of the nice, big, bright writing journal, and compared it to what his pockets were holding; not nearly as much as the little sticker in the corner if the “nice, big, bright writing journal” screamed its ground was worth. He started thinking of all writing journals as mirrors, they reflect ones inner thoughts, emotions, and creativity. He came to the conclusion that a “big, nice, bright, mirror cannot reflect an image any better that’s plain, dull, pocket mirror. A mirror is a mirror. A reflection is a reflection. A writing journal is a writing journal. He then came to realize that a big, bright, fancy mirror, would not be fit for the person he intended to give this gift to. All the fancy color and extravagant design would take ones focus off the actual reflection. He knew the person he intended to give this gift to, could reflect colors and designs beyond the value of the graffix of any mirror, and would be being cheated out of attention if she was forced to write in a book with such graffix and designs… He decided on the plain little black journal, and on the blank space of the pre-page he wrote his reviewer a note.

I think it said something along the lines of how she should use her new mirror everyday, for she was blessed with something beautiful to reflect, and she now has the perfect mirror to do it……”

- Micheal “Eyedea” Larsen
