// Against Torture by Jannis Kounellis is a powerful lithograph that uses bold black forms and gestural marks to create an evocative and intense composition. The central dark shape, reminiscent of a bell or a shroud, dominates the piece, surrounded by erratic lines and splashes of black ink, suggesting movement and emotional turmoil. Kounellis, known for his association with Arte Povera, often infused his works with political and social commentary, and this piece is no exception. The abstract, almost violent strokes convey a sense of protest and resistance, aligning with the title's theme against oppression and torture. The minimal yet impactful approach invites viewers to reflect on human suffering and the weight of injustice.

What is Performance Art?
Performance Art is a genre of fine art that is traditionally interdisciplinary, involving various art forms. It can be scripted or unscripted, random or carefully orchestrated, spontaneous, or meticulously planned, with or without audience participation. Performance Art can be presented live or through media, with the artist either present or absent. It typically involves four basic elements: space, the performer’s body or presence through a medium, time, and the relationship between performer and audience. The artwork consists of actions performed by an individual or group in a specific time and space.
