My Performance Piece is known as "Be at Home." It demonstrates my goals of becoming a scriptwriter while also addressing themes of burnout and taking a step back from work to relax. I'm trying to make a comic for my team and view its potential for success. However, I can be so hyperfocused that I need to remember to take time and have other things to do if I can't figure things out.
Instructional Pieces
Father
Dad, you work so hard.
So hard you forget life.
Why define yourself through work?
Treating yourself like a cog.
Mother
Mom, you take care of the house.
But you're shielded within the confines.
You're safe but alone with no ambition.
Why stay here, losing your sanity.
Child
You watch your idols manage the family.
Yet, try to be your own person by cutting off your familial connections.
Why must you burden yourself with stuff you don't know?
And not turn to family for guidance?
Quotes from NYTimes | Being Marina Abromovic
1. "But a piece always starts with an idea that I don’t like — something I’m afraid of — and going into the unknown."
2. "I’m not so much into my generation — they complain too much. They’re always too tired, too sick, too old. I prefer young artists."
Responses
1. It's shocking because I'm experiencing what Art is, and I have to bring ideas that might cause discomfort to myself and other people because they are new. It keeps things fresh, and I always like to ensure that we keep challenging even as we grow older. Never get comfortable in your own wisdom and experience because there is still much to learn as you progress, even after you become an adult and can pass down knowledge to others.
2. It's intriguing because many older artists have defined themselves from their past legacies, which they used to create change. However, they then got comfortable with what they already accomplished, which is why they feel that way when change happens again by someone else. Life constantly changes, and we must challenge ourselves even after experiencing changes. We want to build upon what we did and leave a legacy that adults and young people would respect.
