Yoko Ono "Cut Piece" Reaction & Reflection

This video is somewhat unnerving to me. I think the combination of the black and white video, her lack of face emotions and body language trigger this eerie feeling. The first time watching the video in class I paid much more attention to the people cutting off her clothing, for so many it seemed like a lifelong triumph--and others the intention behind cuts seemed lacking--mostly when the women cut as if they still did not feel their act permissible. I think any artistic work combining the idea of revelation of the human body usually warrants a lot of attention, but this one by Yoko Ono is much different because it is much more involved.
