salmon so tasty it make me eat hasty / when salmon is finished the joy is diminished

tbh if we separate the art (post) from the artist (karma farming bot) it’s kind of fun how the phrasing of “a woman was asked” addresses the themes of auto-coercion in abramović’s oeuvre, shifting the artist is present from its obvious continuity with imponderabilia, rhythm 0 etc into continuity with her earlier rhythm pieces

providing context to people who are not familiar: the woman in red in the post is marina abramović, the artist who was present in her performance piece the artist is present. the piece involved her sitting at a table and making silent, personal eye contact with each visitor who chose to sit down at the table with her. at one point in the performance her ex-artistic partner/muse/lover, ulay, made an unplanned appearance as one of the audience, and abramović reached across the table to take his hands during his time participating in the exhibit. abramović’s oeuvre of performance art frequently interrogates the relationship between art, the artist, the audience, and free will, often through the lens of the body. i’d highly recommend you look into her other work, especially the other pieces cited, but be forewarned that a lot of her work engages with sexuality and/or violence in a way that can be, and is intended to be, uncomfortable

love the genre of discourse that’s like “the world used to be [thing it never was] but now society is [I’m over thirty]”

you don’t realize how important lunch is until you’re wandering around thinking about how unloveable and untalented and uniquely cursed you are and then it’s 4pm and you finally eat lunch and you go Oh. oh right.

lot of people commenting on this post like "who eats lunch at 4pm that's a terrible time to eat lunch" yes. that is the point. 4pm lunch is inadvisable. 4pm lunch is not the ideal. 4pm lunch makes the mind demons real.
