"I screamed at the top of my lungs, shrieking out all my frustration with everything: Belgrade, Yugoslavia, my mother, my entrapment. I screamed until my voice was gone- three hours later."
Marina Abramović's 1976 performance 'Freeing the Voice' saw her lie on her back and scream continuously until she completely lost her voice. Freeing the Voice was one of three performances where Abramović used exhaustion to cleanse her mind of the three main modes of expression: voice, language, and body.
