1970’s- Marina Abramovic and her lover/collaborator Ulay performing “Death Self”. The artists were connected at the mouth and took in each other’s breaths until all of their available oxygen had been used up. The performance lasted 17 minutes, resulting in both artists collapsing unconscious, having filled their lungs with carbon dioxide. This personal piece explored the idea of an individual’s ability to absorb the life of another person, exchanging and destroying it.
