It was a beautiful thing

laurie anderson I've been trying to find a picture I took of you floating in the ocean in 1980. It was a beautiful thing.
marina abramovic Was it the ocean or was I under a waterfall?
la It was the ocean, with beaches that go slowly down to the water. There is no cliff, so I don't know how I got up in the air looking down at you. Maybe when I find the photograph you can tell me.
ma Okay, if I can remember. So let's start with simple questions and then we'll come to art. When you were a child, did you have some experiences that you can't explain rationally?
la I made them up. I tried to invent situations that were irrational, that had never happened before.
ma Such as?
la A man is walking down the road. A Canadian goose falls right on his head; at the same moment there's a triple rainbow and the guy has a heart attack.
ma That's a fantastic image. Have you ever done something with it?
