This is yoko ono's infamous cut piece. the audience was asked to cut off pieces of her dress with scissors. this is totally worth watching all the way through even though it is kind of long. yoko ono's face just seems to translate as victim. there is a pretty important idea here. performance artists, such as yoko, openly questioned gender roles by positioning the artist as both creator and model, maker and muse, active and inactive. the male/female poles are confused in an art in which the body of the artist is used. the traditional notions and assumptions of the artist as male and the model as female are no longer applicable. thank god.
