She is perhaps one of the most contraversial performance artists of our time. She is perhaps the best example of what Kristeva means in regards to Abjection and what Derrida would see as a 'monstrous arrivant'.

She brings up many questions from art that infect philosophical questions of an ethical nature - action without consequence being one of the main subjects, but before we grasp her body-in-pain performative and constantive acts, we first have to herald her arrival and accept what is revealed and comes to presentation to consciousness. By removing consequence, it being absent, she uncovers the horrors of human actions, she suspends consequence, only to re-present it to consciousness through tragedy.
