In Walk Through Walls, performance artist Marina AbramoviΔ writes of an exercise where she gives her students a thousand pieces of white paper. The students write down ideas. They keep the ones they like, and trash the ones they donβt. After three months, AbramoviΔ only takes ideas from the trash cans; she calls these the βtreasure troveβ of the things her students are afraid to do.
