Marina Abramović is one of the greatest female performing artists of the 20th century, known as "performance art" mother and as a self described "grandmother of performance art." Marina, as an early creator of long-term cosmopolitan, no fixed abode living, has lived in Germany, the Netherlands, Brazil, the United States, and as such is truly a "global citizen."

The scene asked for the audience to choose among risky fatal props, including knives, guns, whips and other props, so that the audience can do any harm to her without her making any response or counterattack. During this period, Marina's attention through her people have been looking far ahead. Her "empty eyes" made her audience become more reckless in their behavior, and to intensify and become more extreme. Although Marina made eye contact with the participants, perhaps as a little bit of a deterrent to remind the audience that they are responsible for their actions, but still it did not seem to play much of a role.
