Reading Reflections:
- How does repetition in ritualistic performance serve as a tool for mourning and healing in the works of Annette Messager and Marina Abramović? Reflect on how these artists transform personal or collective grief into an embodied practice and consider the relationship between repetition and the passage of time.
- What rituals or repetitive actions exist in your own life, either consciously or unconsciously? How might they relate to personal healing, memory, or transformation?
- Reflect on a moment of personal loss or change. If you were to create a performance inspired by mourning or transformation, how might you use repetition, symbolic objects, or gestures to express that experience?
