Swim in a Freezing Body of Water
🕑 Added 2023-12-02 02:24:50 +0000 UTCI'm happy to repost this one!
I'd been working my way through The Marina Abramovich Method, Instruction Cards to Reboot Your Life. The instruction for this exercise was simple: swim in a freezing body of water. But freezing bodies of water are hard to come by in Georgia in the summer. I had to come up with an alternative way to complete this one.
I filled my inflatable swimming pool and added several bags of ice to effectively bring down the temperature. For visual interest, I added flowers and leaves. This was the final result.
Abramovich is hands down my favorite performance artist. If a performance piece has been done, she likely did it first. There is so much to learn from what she brings to this particular art form.
