Yoko Ono: Cut Piece

On 2 May 2025, Berlin-based artist and musician Peaches staged Yoko Ono’s groundbreaking Cut Piece in the atrium of Gropius Bau. First performed in Kyoto in 1964, Cut Piece is one of Ono’s earliest and most influential performance works. By confronting the objectification of bodies perceived as female and dissolving the boundaries between passivity and activity, artist and audience, Cut Piece became a seminal work of feminist art and the art movement Fluxus. Here, you can rewatch the full performance.
