Here's an image of Abramovic naked, wearing a pyramid pendant, holding up a mirror to the audience with a written message on it.

It's from 'Rhythm 0' I believe, where she invited the audience to do as they wished with her and the objects on a table.
I would like to know what the last word of the message is. Can anyone help out?
'IO SONO' is clear I think.
I found this --
In Italian the word "Io" means "Me". If it's true that Io came from another dimension then "me" may possibly refer to the Author himself, as it can be truly said that he - if anyone - knows what's going on atop the Disc at any one time. Most observers don't have any truck with this theory, but that doesn't stop it from having just a little weight... It may also be a pune on "I Am."
In ritual magick (note the "k") on Roundworld, as practiced by the Golden Dawn, Aleistar Crowley;s O.T.O. and the Golden Dawn, IO is an invocation of the Godhead, usually in the form of a repeated chant such as IO. IO, IAO.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
PS - I've been away for a bit, so catching up with messages / comment replies. If you messaged me, I'll be replying ; )

Hard to tell, but it roughly looks like the world 'Lucifer.'

Thanks, I'm trying to see that, it's hard on the eyes. In Italian - Lucifer -- Lucifero. ER could be the second last 2 letters, with the R hidden by her hand, or just the ER as in lucifer as you say. There's definitely the L there?

Yes, the "L" is clear, but I also detect a lower-case "f" at the spot that it would occur in the the word Lucifer, but who knows?
I think what @carmencita observes is interesting, too...

What is really clear to me are the first two letters as L i for sure. Everyone sees things differently.........Yes.
