You seem to have missed the core value of this performance. Immoral art can't hurt you, the viewer. It's supposed to make you feel emotional. You should have the emotional intelligence to question those feelings and come to an understanding of why the art in question made you feel that way. Marina went through the effort and hassle of putting on this piece, and yet still its purpose has completely eluded you. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] fruitycoder@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 years ago "Artist use lies to tell the truth" The point of art can only be done in fiction, though. Once it bleeds into the real, the protective veneer of fiction wears off. Serial killers, for example, some of them at least, could be argued to have a real artistic purpose to their deranged deeds. Things that make people feel and challenge our ethical and moral preconceptions. They are still bastards though, they did hurt people, and it was wrong, immoral and unethical to do so. You also misattribute whom I blame on this subject too. She's fine as far as I am concerned. She simply choose to stand in place put some items on a table and tell people the facts of the situation, but that people that CHOOSE to act wrong are wrong for it, no matter the circumstance. permalink fedilink source parent
