The Presentation of Self in Everyday Life - Wikipedia

That thing that each of us lives with, that you are your own little self privately—once you step into the performance space, you are acting from a higher self, and it’s not you anymore. It’s not the you that you know. It’s something else.
Marina Abramovic • Walk Through Walls: A Memoir
