Sanjoy Chakraborty with Ashikul Islam Rahat & Sajib Ghosh: Art-life in nature, Performance Art-Prane Prokritite
"The history of human civilization is not a history of conquering nature but a history of separation from nature. So even though we know that nature has life, tree has life, we are indifferent about nature. In fact, we never thought of staying with nature. So maybe nature is turning its back on us.
The idea of the work that has been done today under the title ‘Life in Nature’ was the desire to merge with the life of the tree by holding the red color that we understand when we say life, the red color dripping. Trying to contain the limitations of his (tree's) inability to escape human oppression. Trying to remember the age-old bond with the tree. And maybe trying to realize the limitless crime of not being able to be human as a human being."

“P.I.G.S. is a grouping acronym used by international bond analysts, academics, and by the international economic press that refers to the faltering and often indebted economies of Portugal, Italy, Greece, and Spain, often in regards to matters relating to sovereign debt markets. Some news and economic organizations have limited or banned use of these acronyms due to perceived offensive connotations.” more at: http://biennale4.thessalonikibiennale.gr/content/claire-fontaine
To test the limits of the relationship between performer and audience, Abramović developed one of her most challenging (and best-known) performances. She assigned a passive role to herself, with the public being the force that would act on her. Abramović placed on a table 72 objects that people were allowed to use in any way that they chose; a sign informed them that they held no responsibility for any of their actions. Some of the objects could give pleasure, while others could be wielded to inflict pain, or to harm her. Among them were a rose, a feather, honey, a whip, olive oil, scissors, a scalpel, a gun and a single bullet. For six hours the artist allowed audience members to manipulate her body and actions without consequences. This tested how vulnerable and aggressive human subjects could be when actions have no social consequences. At first the audience did not do much and was extremely passive. However, as the realization began to set in that there was no limit to their actions, the piece became brutal. By the end of the performance, her body was stripped, attacked, and devalued into an image that Abramović described as the "Madonna, mother, and whore. Additionally, markings of aggression were written on the artist's body. There were cuts on her neck made by audience members, and her clothes were cut off her body. With an initial determination to find out how the public acts with no consequences tied to their actions, she realized by the end that the public might very well have killed her for their own personal enjoyment.
In her works, Abramović affirms her identity through the perspective of others, however, more importantly by changing the roles of each player, the identity and nature of humanity at large is unraveled and showcased. By doing so, the individual experience morphs into a collective one and creates a powerful message. Abramović's art also represents the objectification of the female body, as she remains motionless and allows spectators to do as they please with her body; the audience pushes the limits of what one would consider acceptable. By presenting her body as an object, she explores the elements of danger and physical exhaustion.
Initially, members of the audience reacted with caution and modesty, but as time passed (and the artist remained passive) people began to act more aggressively. As Abramović described it later: "What I learned was that ... if you leave it up to the audience, they can kill you. ... I felt really violated: they cut up my clothes, stuck rose thorns in my stomach, one person aimed the gun at my head, and another took it away. It created an aggressive atmosphere. After exactly 6 hours, as planned, I stood up and started walking toward the audience. Everyone ran away, to escape an actual confrontation."
En 1974, Marina Abramovic a réalisé une performance où elle disait aux visiteurs qu'elle ne bougerait pas pendant six heures, quoi qu'ils lui fassent. Elle a mis 72 objets à disposition sur une table de son côté qui pourraient être utilisés pour plaire ou détruire, y compris des fleurs à un couteau et une arme chargée. Elle a invité les visiteurs à utiliser les objets dessus comme ils le souhaitent.
Au départ, a déclaré Abramović, les visiteurs étaient pacifiques et timides, mais ils sont rapidement devenus violents : ′′ L ' expérience que j'ai appris était que... si vous laissez la décision au public, vous pouvez vous faire tuer... Je me suis senti très violée. Ils ont coupé mes vêtements, mis des épines de roses dans mon ventre, quelqu'un m'a pointé l'arme sur la tempe, et une autre a retiré son arme de près. Cela a créé une atmosphère agressive. Après exactement 6 heures, comme prévu, je me suis levé et commencé à marcher vers le public. Tout le monde s'est enfui en courant, échappant à une vraie confrontation." Cette performance a révélé quelque chose de terrible sur l'humanité, semblable à ce que l'expérience de l'arrestation de Stanford, Philip Zimbardo et l'expérience d'obéissance de Stanley Milgram ont également montré la rapidité avec laquelle les gens s'agressent selon les circonstances.
Cette performance a montré à quel point il est facile d'inhumaniser une personne qui ne peut pas se défendre, et est particulièrement puissante parce qu'elle défie ce que nous pensons savoir de nous-mêmes.

I chose this artist for self portrait because I like how they do it a little bit different. They use unique techniques and interests to display themselves and gain interest.
