reality is such nightmare fuel that if you try to talk about current events with someone who is blissfully uninformed it is quite literally impossible not to sound delusional, conspiracy-pilled and wildly schizophrenic.
As Abramović described it later: "What I learned was that ... if you leave it up to the audience, they can k!lll you ... I felt really violated: they cyt up my clothes, stuck rose thorns in my stomach, one person aimed the guiun 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."
