How much weight and how long? in response to Marina Abramovic

This performance is in Response to Marina Abramovic.

She is one of my favorite artists.

Marina pushes the limits of her body with her performance and that is what this performance entails. 

I help a 2inX4inX10ft wood plank over my head for as long as I could hold it. It was very heavy and there were times where I wanted to drop it but knew I could keep holding. I achieved a level of endurance never achieved before by me. 

To spice things up a little, I directed a spot light to my face. This light, bright and hot was uncomfortable. I had to close my eyes because keeping them open was unbearable. 

I pushed my body to a limit that I intend to surpass in the future.
