Railing 2,799 Posted October 4, 2022 Share Posted October 4, 2022 I'm researching the ARTPOP era and I came across the Ryan Seacrest interview she did to promote "Applause", and she says something that I don't think people talk about enough. So around 8 minutes into the interview, they're talking about Gaga's time with Marina Abramovic. Apparently, Marina left Gaga (a woman with chronic pain just a few months after a traumatic hip injury) in the woods for three hours, blindfolded, to find her way back home. She almost fell off a cliff several times and had to be pulled back. Ryan was, understandably, like "wtf?" at this revelation. In Attitude Magazine, Gaga further explains that she was crying under the blindfold, "ripping up my flesh, mosquito bites everywhere". Marina went on to say that Gaga was scratched up by bushes and eaten by mosquitoes and spiders. Additionally, the forest included poison ivy and Lyme disease-bearing ticks. In 2020, we found out that she was (paraphrasing, from another GGD user) under contract not to leave, speak or eat during the four day workshop this took place in. What does everyone think about this? I find it very weird/scary tbh Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sarahb 16,613 Posted October 4, 2022 Share Posted October 4, 2022 2013 alternate reality headline: "Lady Gaga, aged 27, found dead at the bottom of a cliff. The "Applause" singer was naked and blindfolded. Performance artist Marina Abramović is currently being questioned by police." Do you feel him sir?

Mother of Puppies 36,456 Posted October 4, 2022 Share Posted October 4, 2022 I believe she wasn't in such a good place mentally at the time, so she tried whatever to feel better I guess. THEY CALL ME LADY MOP Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AURAOFSHEISSE 6,516 Posted October 4, 2022 Share Posted October 4, 2022 Its not like Marina forced her to do it, Gaga was very into the Abramovic method during the ARTPOP era. Plus she was trying to heal from past trauma obviously turning to unconventional alternatives “Hands on your knees, I’m Angelina Jolie” Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
vanna shintuyu 10,802 Posted October 4, 2022 Share Posted October 4, 2022 Ugh. Her ARTPOP promo looks were everything. But yeah, as other have said, she did it by choice. There's actually a video of it somewhere. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sneaky Oliver 22,219 Posted October 4, 2022 Share Posted October 4, 2022 I think Gaga likes to add a little bit of drama here and there… I don’t think Marina or her team would put her in such a dangerous situation. That being said, I wish she could have talked more about the method back then. She always talked about it in a very shallow way Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Btw NSFW, Gaga is fully nude at 1:28. Most confusing part is that this video was taped by Terry Richardson, possibly for the very same ARTPOP documentary that also spawned these teasers: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
