>> Abramovic performed a rhythm zero,
in which she stood impassively and put herself completely
in the hands of her audience.
>> I was standing there in the middle of the space
with this table with objects.
I put the objects on the table very carefully chosen,
because the objects was for pleasure,
and they was also the object for pain,
and objects that could bring you to death.
>> Some of the objects included were a rose, a feather, grapes,
honey, a whip, a scalpel, a gun and a bullet.
>> In the beginning the public was really very much playing
with me, it later on became more and more aggressive.
It was 6 hours of real horror.
They would cut my clothes, they would cut me with a knife close
to my neck, and drink my blood
and then put plaster over the wound.
They would carry me around half naked, put me on the table
and stuff the knife between my legs into the wound,
and even somebody put a bullet into the pistol,
and put in my hand, seeing if I would pressing it,
her hand against my hand, if I would resist.
But I remember after 6 hours when the [inaudible] come
and say this piece is finished.
That I start being by myself and start walking to the audience,
you know naked, and with blood, and with tears in my eyes,
everybody run away, literally run out to the door.
I remember coming to the hotel that evening looking myself
in the mirror, seeing really big piece of white hair.
