Still not completely finished! But here are some initial outcomes for the static project. They are inspired by the performance piece 'the Naked Corner' drawing on the idea of not been able to move. I have used extracts from 'The Diving Bell and the Butterfly' to emphasize the paralyzed theme, and have tried to make myself look as much like a 'manikin' as possible.
Marina Abramovic 'Rhythm 0' was a performance were she allowed the audience to do as they like with her, and the 72 objects she choose, for 6 hours. She spoke after of how the audience began to get more and more violent, with them ripping her clothes, cutting her, and pointing a loaded gun at her head. When the 6 hours of horror were up the audience ran away. Its amazing how being static made society react to her in such an animalistic brutal way in such a short space of time.
