1
00:00:09,306 --> 00:00:11,716
>> Abramovic performed
a rhythm zero,

2
00:00:11,836 --> 00:00:14,896
in which she stood impassively
and put herself completely

3
00:00:14,896 --> 00:00:16,096
in the hands of her audience.

4
00:00:16,886 --> 00:00:18,966
>> I was standing there
in the middle of the space

5
00:00:19,226 --> 00:00:20,946
with this table with objects.

6
00:00:21,456 --> 00:00:24,866
I put the objects on the
table very carefully chosen,

7
00:00:25,156 --> 00:00:26,806
because the objects
was for pleasure,

8
00:00:27,116 --> 00:00:29,236
and they was also
the object for pain,

9
00:00:29,466 --> 00:00:32,136
and objects that could
bring you to death.

10
00:00:33,016 --> 00:00:36,706
>> Some of the objects included
were a rose, a feather, grapes,

11
00:00:36,966 --> 00:00:40,626
honey, a whip, a scalpel,
a gun and a bullet.

12
00:00:41,826 --> 00:00:45,026
>> In the beginning the public
was really very much playing

13
00:00:45,026 --> 00:00:47,556
with me, it later on became
more and more aggressive.

14
00:00:47,966 --> 00:00:50,436
It was 6 hours of real horror.

15
00:00:51,066 --> 00:00:54,606
They would cut my clothes, they
would cut me with a knife close

16
00:00:54,686 --> 00:00:55,976
to my neck, and drink my blood

17
00:00:55,976 --> 00:00:57,746
and then put plaster
over the wound.

18
00:00:58,446 --> 00:01:01,656
They would carry me around
half naked, put me on the table

19
00:01:01,656 --> 00:01:03,866
and stuff the knife between
my legs into the wound,

20
00:01:04,385 --> 00:01:06,766
and even somebody put a
bullet into the pistol,

21
00:01:06,846 --> 00:01:09,536
and put in my hand, seeing
if I would pressing it,

22
00:01:09,706 --> 00:01:11,586
her hand against my
hand, if I would resist.

23
00:01:12,306 --> 00:01:14,996
But I remember after 6 hours
when the [inaudible] come

24
00:01:14,996 --> 00:01:17,056
and say this piece is finished.

25
00:01:17,586 --> 00:01:20,806
That I start being by myself and
start walking to the audience,

26
00:01:20,806 --> 00:01:23,666
you know naked, and with blood,
and with tears in my eyes,

27
00:01:24,036 --> 00:01:26,476
everybody run away,
literally run out to the door.

28
00:01:27,266 --> 00:01:30,276
I remember coming to the hotel
that evening looking myself

29
00:01:30,276 --> 00:01:34,336
in the mirror, seeing really
big piece of white hair.
