Searching for Yoko Ono Story
Jul. 5th, 2006 10:39 pmHas anyone heard the following story, and/or does anyone know where I could get a citation for it or which film it references?
In one of her (performance art) films a cameraman follows a random woman on the street. At first she is surprised, then laughs it off, then she becomes increasingly agitated until finally she flees to her hotel room where the cameraman forces his way inside. She screams and throws things, but never directly at the man. After receiving comments during a screening that the woman should have physically attacked the cameraman if she felt threatened, and especially after he forced his way into her room, Ono responded that as a woman if you attack a man, you'd better kill him.
Ring any bells?
