Response to Yoko Video

This video, I felt was extremely powerful because Yoko essentially allowed the audience to make the performance. In the beginning I sensed as if each member of the audience was not trying to take any leaps while cutting pieces of clothing off of Yoko. The members of the audience were also staying clear of cutting areas around certain parts of her body such as her breasts. From this I thought it was curious how no one made any crazy decisions with cutting even more off of Yoko and instead, just cut small pieces off.  Until the end when the one man, who took the most risk with cutting her whole top off. With each individual cut, made by a person, I felt could really describe a person with either being careful or daring. I found it really interesting how Yoko basically made herself so vulnerable and allowing the audience members to just cut her clothes off of her. I think this video can relate to how sometimes in society people will let others literally control their lives while they just stand there. When in Yoko’s performance she completely let others control with what they wanted to do with her while she just sat there and watched, not saying a word.
