more to add on, this artwork is actually done on the couple's honeymoon, its rather sacrificial of them to stage a protest in such a "soft and non violent method" and it does have an aesthetic purpose. Its not an artpiece to look and gaze at, its an art piece, or performance art to be detailed, that should spark deep thinking, that the protest will rewind in the minds of the viewer.

its an act that is totally different, in the video, people were taking pictures, writing notes of praise about them.

its a protest against war, their outfit and the john lennon's hairdo reminds me of the Hippy people, promoting love and curbing war....

"Bed-ins for peace" BY Yoko ono and John Lennon

1. Write on what this work is about.

well, both artists met in november 1966, just some brief background info...

the performance art was made to speak up about world peace, it also had the protest of the vietnam war .

2. Do you consider this as art? Why or why not?


yes, i do consider this as art, the ideas were present, body gestures and voice were used to communicate a message to the viewer; the main reason why artworks exist in the first place.

their art, revolves around performance art, where body movements, be it vigorous or slow movements are used in place of inanimate mediums that do not move, basically, it is expression through body movement, where the energy and the body are the artwork, not just the visual aspect.
