Joseph Beuys, How to Explain Pictures to a Dead Hare, 1965
One of the artist’s most famous performances, Beuys covered his head first with honey, and then with fifty dollars worth of gold leaf. He cradles a dead hare in his arms, and strapped an iron plate to the bottom of his right shoe. Viewed from behind glass in the gallery, the audience could see Beuys walking from drawing to drawing, quietly whispering in the dead rabbit’s ear. As he walked around the room, the silence was pierced by intermittent sound of his footsteps; the loud crack of the iron on the floor, and the soundless whisper of the sole of shoe. (via)

Anoche soñé con esto. En vez de explicar cuadros al conejo, le explicaba el mundo. Su cabeza, inerte, colgaba como péndulo.

Seaside Suspension: Event for Wind and Waves, 1981 by Stelarc

The body was suspended side-on from a wooden structure on an outcrop of rocks parallel to the horizon, looking out to sea near the shore as the tide was coming in and the weather was overcast with the blustery wind swaying the body back and forth and the waves crashing against the rocks, swaying and splashing it for approximately 20 minutes.
