On Monday the 30th of January we took a trip to the Tate Modern gallery in London. Here, I discovered my new favourite artist - Marina Ambramovic. I had heard about Ambramovic before, but had never really looked in depth at her work. The piece that was displayed at the gallery is called 'Rhythm 0.' 'Rhythm 0' was a performance piece done in 1974 whereby Abramovic stood still for 6 hours and allowed the public to do whatever they wanted to her. In an interview, the artist said she did this because she wanted to see how far the public would go. At first, people were kind to her - they hugged and kissed her and gave her roses. However, as time went on, the public became more and more wild. They cut her with scissors, stuck rose thorns in her body, cut her clothes off. One man even held a loaded gun to her neck. The reason why I liked this piece so much is because I think it's interesting to see what people are capable of when they don't have to face consequences or take responsibility. When the performance finished, Ambramovic returned to herself again and began to move and talk, but when she returned to being human, the people in the gallery ran away.
