Drudge Retort: The Other Side of the News
Friday, January 16, 2026

Artist Marina Abramovi said that a public performance art piece where she had nine orgasms did have a "terrible" effect on her. She's the woman who once let people do "whatever they wanted" to her for several hours which ended up putting her life in danger as her audience almost killed her, until the moment the performance was over and she walked away with everyone fleeing at her movement. Among her other works is "The Artist is Present," in which she spent two-and-a-half months sitting in a chair in New York City's Museum of Modern Art where anyone could join her for a silent conversation.

For another one of her artworks she called "Seven Easy Pieces," she took inspiration from Vito Acconci's "Seedbed" where he hid under a ramp and masturbated while his fantasies were played over speakers.

During her version of it, she had nine orgasms, as she explained to New York Magazine, saying it had a "terrible" effect on her subsequent performances.

"I've never concentrated so hard in my life. The problem for me, with this piece, was the absence of public gaze: only the sound."
