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...

I'm with you... I was seeing that too. It really does appear to look like lucifer, and tbh I saw that first when I looked and thought to ask for other opinions. However, I just found the answer and @carmencita is correct --

In Rhythm 0, Studio Morra, Naples, 1975, someone wrote ‘IO SONO LIBERO’ (I am free) in lipstick on a mirror and made Abramović hold it. Someone wrote ‘END’ across her forehead. Someone else slowly poured a cup of water on her head. Someone else wiped the tears from her eyes. The gallerist drove Abramović back to her hotel when the performance was finished. When she awoke the next morning, Abramović noticed a clump of her hair had turned gray.

Yes, she's ever enigmatic and uses symbology everywhere.... so it's good to document this photograph. Thanks again ; )
