In 1974, a young Yugoslavian artist walked into Studio Morra in Naples, Italy. She placed 72 objects on a table, laid out a specific set of instructions, and surrendered her body and her autonomy to a room full of strangers for six hours.
As time ticked on and Abramović remained completely passive—showing no pain, resistance, or emotion—the psychology of the room shifted dramatically. The audience realized there were no consequences for their actions.
