About this listen

In 1974, artist Marina Abramović conducted Rhythm 0, a six-hour social experiment where she gave the audience absolute, unchecked power. With 72 objects—including a loaded gun—on a table, Marina stood passive and silent. We analyze the terrifying escalation of cruelty: the moment curiosity became malice, and how this performance became a moral crucible exposing humanity's dark side when accountability vanished.

WARNING: This episode discusses Rhythm 0, a performance art piece involving themes of self-harm, sexual assault, and life-threatening violence, including the documented use of a loaded firearm.
