''Rhythm 0'' (1974) was a six-hour work of performance art by Serbian artist Marina Abramović in Studio Morra, Naples.〔Marina Abramović, Chris Thompson and Katarina Weslien, ("Pure Raw: Performance, Pedagogy, and (Re)presentation" ), ''PAJ: A Journal of Performance and Art'', 28(1), January 2006 (pp. 29–50), p. 47.〕 The work involved Abramović standing still while the audience was invited to do to her whatever they wished, using one of 72 objects she had placed on a table. These included a rose, feather, perfume, honey, bread, grapes, wine, scissors, a scalpel, nails, a metal bar, and a gun loaded with one bullet.〔("Marina Abramović on ''Rhythm 0'' (1974)" ), Marina Abramović Institute, 2014, c. 01:00 mins.〕〔("Marina Abramović. Rhythm 0. 1974" ), Museum of Modern Art.〕 There was no separate stage. Abramović and the visitors stood in the same space, making it clear that the latter were part of the work.〔Frazer Ward, ''No Innocent Bystanders: Performance Art and Audience'', University Press of New England, 2012, p. 125.〕 The purpose of the piece, she said, was to find out how far the public would go: "What is the public about and what are they going to do in this kind of situation?"〔(Abramović 2014 ), c. 00:00 mins.〕 Her instructions were placed on the table:
Abramović said the work "pushed her body to the limits."〔 Visitors were gentle to begin with, offering her a rose or a kiss.〔 Art critic Thomas McEvilley, who was present, wrote:
As Abramović described it later: “What I learned was that... if you leave it up to the audience, they can kill you.” ... “I felt really violated: they cut up 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 audience. Everyone ran away, to escape an actual confrontation.”〔Daneri, 29; and 30〕 When the gallery announced the work was over, and Abramović began to move again, she said the audience left, unable to face her as a person.〔(Abramović 2014 ), c. 01:45 mins.〕 ==See also== *Endurance art 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Rhythm 0」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
