For six hours, Abramovic stood motionless, while visitors entered the gallery and engaged with her using the provided objects. The results were both fascinating and unsettling. Some people caressed her gently, while others inflicted pain or humiliation upon her. The actions ranged from tender to violent, revealing a wide spectrum of human behavior.

She took full responsibility for anything that happened during that time. rhythm 0 slideshow
