Algic Experience and Suffering Expression: Reflections from Abramovic
Abstract Under the inspiration of Marina Abramovic’s performance Lips of Thomas, this work examines the fissures and paradoxes posed by a possible “interpersonal pain circuit”, in which at least four moments are distinguished: painful experience, expression of pain, recognition and help behavior. We stop especially in the case of a painful experience that does not correspond surprisingly an expression, and also in the case of a painful expression that has to overcome multiple difficulties for its recognition. Whereas acute pain seems to be the true actor that unfolds and manifests itself in the scene, without hardly opening up space for personal modulation, chronic pain can require a careful staging to paradoxically achieve the recognition of its mere reality. The multiple fissures and paradoxes in the experience, expression and recognition of pain may be due, ultimately, not to a casual dysfunction of a functional and operative circuit, but to the disruptive, destructive or aberrant character of a painful experience that manifests in the end as an experience of evil.
