With the increasing allure of society, there are many intimate people such as couples who will set up various levels in an attempt to verify the other party's sincerity to themselves. However, the results of the test are often very disappointing, and few people can withstand the test.
People are in this world of flowers and flowers, and it is normal that they cannot pass the test. So, if you go back in time to the nineteenth century, decades ago, and then test humanity, will the results of the test satisfy a person?

Marina. Abramovich is a well-known performance artist, as well as a well-known director and screenwriter. She was born in Serbia and all the elders of the family practiced Serbian Orthodox Christianity.
Probably because of her parents' work, Marina lived with her grandparents until the age of six. In Marina's mind, she was confronted with various prayer ceremonies and different priests every day in her childhood, and her grandparents gave most of their time to faith and rarely really cared about her.
When Marina was six years old, after her parents gave birth to her brother, Marina was finally able to live with her parents. However, for Marina, the days of living with her parents are also unhappy.
Marina's parents were once soldiers, life and rest are very strict, the education of Marina's brothers and sisters has always been militarized management, young Marina very much want to get the love of her parents, but her parents will only transfer the military set to her, which makes it difficult for her to accept.

Since living with her parents, Marina has had to learn piano and Chinese every day, and has not studied art, but the young Marina has shown an amazing talent for art.
Born into a military family, it may be unfortunate for Marina, she has never had free time, and the time to arrive home every day cannot exceed ten o'clock at the latest, even when she needs to perform after she has become famous, it must be done before ten o'clock, and after ten o'clock Marina must return home and can no longer go out.
Although Marina's life is rigid, in her subconscious it is enthusiastic, she does not want to be imprisoned in the world, crazy to release herself.
From the seventies onwards, Marina became obsessed with creating with her own body, turning life into art, constantly challenging the physical and psychological potential boundaries of human nature. Through art, she wants to find a way to live more freely and freely.

In 1973, Marina performed a special programme at the Edinburgh Festival, which may be very exciting for others, but for herself, there are great dangers.
She placed twenty short knives in front of her, and then took one of them and quickly chopped it between her fingers, trying to avoid hurting her fingers. If the finger is injured, immediately another knife is cut down in the same way, and the wound of the second injury must be the same as the first, until twenty knives are used.
This time performance art can be said to be Marina's original exploration of performance art, and this performance art is called "Rhythm 10".

In 1974, Marina staged performance art again, which was named "Rhythm 0", and she signed a document in Italy to exempt her from any legal liability, no matter how much she was hurt in performance art, she alone.
She did this body art because she wanted to understand human nature, to know what would happen if she lost control of her body and handed it over to outsiders.
Marina first had the staff prepare 72 things, including barbed roses and lipstick, as well as knives, and even dangerous items such as guns, and then had the staff paralyze her. After being paralyzed, Marina's body was under anesthesia, while her brain was awake.
More and more people arrived at the scene, and at first, although people knew the rules of the game, no one dared to do anything extreme to Marina. Marina's appearance is very moving, sitting there motionless, like a porcelain doll, it is really impulsive.

After a while, a man couldn't help himself, and he first gently pushed Marina's body, trying to see how Marina would react. When he saw that Marina did not react at all, he boldly picked up the lipstick and applied it to her face.
When the man had finished his "masterpiece", another man came up again, and this man wrote a name on Marina's body with a pen. Next, one man behaved even more excessively, and he actually took off Marina's coat and took the cold water prepared in advance and poured it on her.
If the behavior of the first three men can be described as "prank", then the next behavior can fully see the evil of human nature. One man took the scissors, cut off The clothes on Marina's body, and then cut her skin with a thorn in the rose.
When the blood flowed out, the people standing around not only did not stop it, but even laughed. The staff may have seen that Marina was not life-threatening, so they did not intervene.

Even if the "stimulating" behavior is not stopped, people's next actions are even bolder. Someone touched Marina's breasts, someone took nude photos of her, and put the pictures on her chest.
Seeing herself being insulted in this way, Marina's eyes were filled with tears, and she wanted to scream, but because the anesthesia had not faded, she could not scream.
However, people behaved more and more excessively, and for a full six hours, many things were done to this beautiful woman, and the staff did not stop it, until someone picked up the gun and was ready to shoot at Marina, and the staff finally stopped it.
During those six hours, only one woman wiped Marina's tears with a tissue, and no one else did any other acts of kindness after that.
After Marina regained consciousness, she silently got up and dressed and walked toward the crowd. Fearing that she would take revenge on her, they all fled, and Marina, the last thing she wanted to see, was the ugliness of human nature, which was all exposed in a moment.

After Marina's mood stabilized, she expressed her impressions of this performance art, showing disappointment in the evil of human nature.
This time in performance art, Marina used her body to tell everyone not to test human nature, otherwise the consequences will be unbearable. This time, performance art has also become Marina's nightmare in life, making her no longer want to remember.
