Marina Abramovic Blood Ritual
Marina Abramovic, known for her provocative performance art, included instructions in her "Spirit Cooking" project that involved cutting into one's finger and consuming the pain, which metaphorically implies drinking the blood. However, these instructions are meant to be poetic and not literal actions for the audience to perform. Abramovic's work often aims to shock and provoke thought rather than to be taken literally.
In her performances, Abramovic has subjected herself to extreme physical and mental endurance, including self-inflicted injuries. For instance, she once stabbed herself between the fingers on her left hand as part of a performance.
