Browsing though the web I came across a page that consisted of reactions from one of her performances. In this performance the artist sat across from the viewer and just blankly stared at them. Some of them broke down couldn't help their tears and I wondered why such a simple stare could do that to a person. They say silence usually is golden but in this case was it a good thing? a bad thing? It made me come up with the conclusion that people relate to art whether it's a painting or not. The audience has to feel a connection of some sort and that could just mean a simple reaction such as crying. Some might take it as nothing but a stupid joke but to others, it's the feeling that gets evoked in them that makes Marina a successful performing artist.

Here are some of the reactions...

Pretty intimating huh? No? Well here's the link to the other reactions the viewers had...
