YOKO ONO, ARISING

A CALL WOMEN OF ALL AGES, FROM ALL COUNTRIES OF THE WORLD: YOU ARE INVITED TO SEND A TESTAMENT OF HARM DONE TO YOU FOR BEING A WOMAN. WRITE YOUR TESTAMENT IN YOUR OWN LANGUAGE, IN YOUR OWN WORDS, AND WRITE HOWEVER OPENLY YOU WISH. YOU MAY SIGN YOUR FIRST NAME IF YOU WISH, BUT DO NOT GIVE YOUR FULL NAME. SEND A PHOTOGRAPH ONLY OF YOUR EYES. THE TESTAMENTS OF HARM AND PHOTOGRAPHS OF YOUR EYES WILL BE EXHIBITED IN MY INSTALLATION ARISING, JUNE 1 – NOVEMBER 24, 2013, IN THE EXHIBITION, PERSONAL STRUCTURES, AT PALAZZO BEMBO IN VENICE, AS PART OF THE 55TH VENICE BIENNALE. A BOOK WILL ALSO BE PREPARED OF THE ARTWORK, AND A SELECTION OF YOUR TESTAMENTS AND PHOTOGRAPHS WILL BE PUBLISHED IN THIS BOOK. THE INSTALLATION ARISING WILL CONTINUE TO GROW AND WILL BE EXHIBITED IN MANY COUNTRIES. I VERY MUCH HOPE FOR YOUR PARTICIPATION.

the kind of morning where I have listened to this ten times in a row

“I started starving myself, fucked up my bodily health
I didn’t wanna be attractive to nobody else
I didn’t want the appeal, wanted to stunt my own growth
But there’s a fucking reason behind every scar that I show…

My biggest problem was fear, and what being fearful could do
It made me run, it made me hide it made me scared of the truth
I’m not deranged anymore, I’m not the same anymore
I mean I’m sane but I’m insane but not the same as before”
