In this 1976 performance, Abramović reels off all the words she can possibly remember. Seated on a chair with her head tilted backwards, Abramović speaks Serbo-Croatian, now and then throwing in an English or Dutch word. By reciting all the words stored in her memory, she tries to free herself from the acquired language. After an hour and a half, she seems to have succeeded. The well of words has dried up and the performance is over.
