“Pain is an attempt to transform fear into something palpable, something physical, into something that has a beginning and an end, something that has a language, a wordless language that says, "There is something here.” PainFear Book:Psychoanalyst Meets Marina Abramovic: Jeannette Fischer Meets Artist Source: Psychoanalyst Meets Marina Abramovic: Jeannette Fischer Meets Artist
“Fear banishes all feelings. It causes them to vanish, and pain reinstates them. Pain gives fear a face, a face one can look at. It is a hideous face, and yet it is more bearable than nothing, than the facelessness of fear.” PainFear Book:Psychoanalyst Meets Marina Abramovic: Jeannette Fischer Meets Artist Source: Psychoanalyst Meets Marina Abramovic: Jeannette Fischer Meets Artist
