Abramovic, Marina; Ulay
«Incision»

In a given space
I am fastened to the wall by a stretched elastic band. Over and over again, I move as close to the public as the elastic will let me.
Ulay

I stand parallel to the elastic's point of maximum extensibility. A member of the public attacks me and leaves. I return to my position.
