Why Did a Controversial Artist Choose Public Orgasm as Performance—and Call It “Terrible”?
Marina Abramovic—yeah, that Marina Abramovic—the queen of performance art who makes you question the very fabric of what art is—has once again thrown us all for a wild loop. Imagine this: seven hours of putting your body on the line, pushing physical and mental limits, and enduring multiple orgasms in the middle of a museum. Yep, you read that right. And no, this isn’t some cheeky party story—this was her 2005 performance piece, a reimagining of a controversial act by Vito Acconci from the ’70s that had folks buzzing, scratching heads, or just downright outraged. But if you think this art is all about shock value, Abramovic challenges us to look deeper—into fear, endurance, vulnerability, and yes, exhaustion that leaves you ready to collapse. Who knew artistry could be this exhausting… and enlightening? Buckle up—this is one wild ride through the human psyche and the limits of performance. <a href="https://www.boredpanda.com/artist-who-had-multiple-orgasms-in-public-museum-reveals-the-effects-on-her/?mediaid=Marina-Abramovic-2-68225301cb9f1_700″>LEARN MORE
Marina Abramovic, a provocative Serbian performance artist known for pushing the boundaries of contemporary art, has opened up about the toll her new-infamous performance took on her body and mind—one in which she reportedly experienced multiple orgasms.
“I had to do this for seven hours,” she said in an interview on the Fashion Neurosis podcast. “I think I had more than five orgasms. It was really difficult because the next day I had to do another performance. I was exhausted.”
