Rhythm 0 was a six-hour long endurance art performance by the Serbian performance artist Marina Abramović performed in the Galleria Studio Mora in Naples in 1974. This was the final performance of Abramović's Rhythm Series, following 4 previous performances that took place throughout 1973-1974. The work involved Abramović standing still while the audience was invited to do to her whatever they wished, using one of 72 objects she had placed on a table. The items were specifically chosen to represent objects of both pleasure and pain. Some items included; a rose, feather, perfume, honey, bread, grapes, wine, scissors, a scalpel, nails, a metal bar, a gun, and a bullet.
