RHYTHM 0 - This will haunt you today! "It takes just a few hours to uncover the darkest, ugliest side of people. It was just a performance called Rhythm 0." In 1974, artist Marina Abramovic, performed one of the most terrifying performances in the history. In this show, All she did was Staying steady. Then placed many different items on a table, left to the choice of those who came to see the show that could use it. Items from flowers to brownies, chains to knives. Her aim was to impose herself as a living work of art. She was passive as a lifeless object. At first, Some gave roses, some fed her with cake, some caressed her hair, or shook her hand. However, as the time passed, things changed. First, one of them slapped her in the face. Realizing that artist didn't react, some people hit her harder. They began to show a violent tendency when they realized that woman was vulnerable. One person took the gun and put it on the woman's forehead. Then placed it to point to her neck. Some wrote on the her forehead with pens. Some were squeezing her, some were kissing her or spitting on her! The crowd cut her clothes with the scissors, leaving her naked. But wasn't over! One person drew the woman’s belly with a knife. They shed her blood many times. There suck it. Then they carried her like a dummy. Someone also tried to go further with the woman by laying her on table, but to be stopped. Some people in the crowd wer feeling disturbed but they did nothing while others started to take pictures of the woman, and put them in her hands. In the meantime, the woman was in tears. Then a woman from the crowd wiped her tears and hugged her. Then the disturbed minority finally intervened. Some of them cleaned up the wounds, while others covered her. Moral: As one lady did the right thing, it changed others. So ask “what could happen from my simple action?” This event, which turned out to be more of a social experiment than a performance art, showed how the majority can easily reveal evil within themselves with each other's encouragement, it also showed the consequences of not being able to demonstrate the courage and solidarity or being late in this regard. https://www.instagram.com/p/B6mD5W-Bju0/?igshid=lus6ykwf2j5f
