Here's an interesting find, haven't seen this one yet.

Primal performer Marina Abramovic recalls her desert revelation: http://www.theaustralian.com.au/arts/review/primal-performer-marina-abramovic-recalls-her-desert-revelation/news-story/5e22a0ee2f26297e0810d0b4f4125efb

From Article: FOLLOWING an appearance at the third Sydney Biennale in 1979, Abramovic and her artistic collaborator and lover Ulay - German artist Frank Uwe Laysiepen - trekked out to central Australia and requested to meet the indigenous people of Western Australia's Little Sandy Desert, near Lake Disappointment. That meeting would become the best part of a year living with the local Aborigines.

"For me, Aborigines are the most natural human beings: they live not in the past or in the future but in the present. They have a story, and a meaning for everything," she says.

"In that desert I spent a lot of time just sitting down: meditating, listen to the silence. This is what opened my universe."

Abramovic had an epiphany: what she terms a "non-rational extra sense of perception". "I walked out of that desert after a year and had this realisation that, 'Wow. I see things differently. I am new.'

Keep following, after searching Lake Disappointment I found this.

Lake Disappointment, or Kumpupirntily in the indigenous language, is an endorheic salt lake located in the Pilbara region of Western Australia.

In indigenous culture, Kumpupirntily is associated with Nyayurnangalku, cannibalistic spirit beings who live below the surface of the water.[2]

This is all very interesting and new to me. Whatever is going on, it stems from the past - and it has to do with power and/or spirituality.
