If a magician invited you on stage to and gave you a gun and told you to point it at their head you probably would though right? The audience here are part of the show, and their role in it. Did the people who did things like cut her think of themselves more as actors in an extreme form of theater or audience members?
- itishappy 3y agoI would shoot a magician without much hesitation, assuming it to be a trick. Something in this performance was different, I don't think it was a trick.
- neaden 3y agoNot a trick, but the artist's previous works in this Rhythm series were all about suffering, for instance Rhythm 10 and 5 she cut her self, and Rhythm 2 she took medication to give herself a seizure. If you are doing a series on suffering where you injure yourself, the audience is going to understand their role in the performance.
- itishappy 3y agoRight, and that's different than the magician where harm was never expected. I would have been uncomfortable drawing blood, even if she wasn't, but I'm not surprised the audience got there. I am quite surprised they put a gun to her head, and that there was any level of discussion/disagreement about it's use.
