Contract with the Skin: Masochism, Performance Art, and the 1970s

This book was excessively descriptive of the specific performances illustrated within. It mentions the calm demeanor in the artists' statements, which was probably most influential (since I had already become familiar with most of the art works by this point: Acconci, Abramovic, Burden). I want to convey this in my work, too, which is why I'm leaving my book very simple.

I want the viewer to incur meaning behind the images and videos without being told too much initially. I don't want to have long journal entries or anything, but I'm really excited about expanding all of these experiments in the future.

Here is a video link as a reminder for me to watch it later
