Marina Abramovic s the queen of trance through pain or maybe pettite mort meaning small death (and probably i spelt it all wrong it's german sorry).
Her work concerns the body in it's capacity for endurance, pain, reaction.
Her performance pieces can be likened to rituals, where she performed mostly naked with a set list of tasks and time frame to uphold.
She brings up issues of sexuality,inhibition,meditation, transcendence,clarification (or ritual purification),and childhood nostalgia.
She made me contemplate performance art and it's use as this kind of ritualistic timeless act.
