In 1974, Serbian performance artist Marina Abramoviâc surrounded herself with seventy-two objects, divided into two categories: pleasure and pain. She invited her audience to use them on her body, thereby transforming it into just one more object. Her goal was to observe how humans behaved when faced with defenselessness. By the end of the performance, it is said Abramovi 's very life was in danger. Ultimately, inflicting pain was the easy part. The hardest thing is always love. To say "do what you want with me" is an invitation to pain, but also a gesture of blind trust, of submission. Using Abramovi 's performance as his reference point, Miguel Gane, one of the best-known poets of his generation, reflects on the people who own our hearts and how, through love, we give others the power to hurt us even as they make us whole.
