HOUSE OF THE DRAGON (2022 – ) 1x09 "The Lord of the Tides" || 3x03 "Rhaenyra Triumphant"

You ruled this realm in all but name while my father lay ill. I did...It's a heavy weight. How did you bear it? In truth? You may not rule and remain yourself. There are choices to be made, and you may, on occasion, have to turn your face away while people suffer and die. There is in you a door that must be shut. You will do things that your heart would have recoiled from before you came to the throne. I acknowledge the struggle. But I dispute that I must become what I am not. Time will tell.

Marina Abramovic - Rhythm 10 (1973)

“In her first performance Abramovic explored elements of ritual and gesture. Making use of twenty knives and two tape recorders, the artist played the Russian game in which rhythmic knife jabs are aimed between the splayed fingers of her hand. Each time she cut herself, she would pick up a new knife from the row of twenty she had set up, and record the operation.

After cutting herself twenty times, she replayed the tape, listened to the sounds, and tried to repeat the same movements, attempting to replicate the mistakes, merging past and present. She set out to explore the physical and mental limitations of the body – the pain and the sounds of the stabbing, the double sounds from the history and from the replication.

With this piece, Abramovic began to consider the state of consciousness of the performer. ‘Once you enter into the performance state you can push your body to do things you absolutely could never normally do.’”
