=== Endurance art === {{Main|Endurance art}} Endurance performance art deepens the themes of trance, pain, solitude, deprivation of freedom, isolation or exhaustion.<ref>For artists in endurance performances "[q]uestioning the limits of their bodies," Tatiana A. Koroleva, ''Subversive Body in Performance Art'', ProQuest, 2008, pp. 29, 44โ46.</ref> Some of the works, based on the passing of long periods of time are also known as long-durational performances.<ref>Paul Allain, Jen Harvie, ''The Routledge Companion to Theatre and Performance'', Routledge, 2014, p. 221. Other terms include duration art, live art or time-based art.</ref> One of the pioneering artists was [[Chris Burden]] in California since the 1970s.<ref>Michael Fallon, ''Creating the Future: Art and Los Angeles in the 1970s'', Counterpoint, 2014, p. 106: "Burden's performances were so widely observed that they took on a life beyond the artist, helping create a new art genre, 'endurance art'..."</ref> In one of his best known works, ''Five days in a locker'' (1971) he stayed for five days inside a school locker, in ''Shoot'' (1971) he was shot with a firearm, and inhabited for twenty two days a bed inside an art gallery in ''Bed Piece'' (1972).<ref>Emily Anne Kuriyama, [http://ca.complex.com/style/2013/10/chris-burden-art-new-museum/back-to-you "Everything You Need to Know About Chris Burden's Art Through His Greatest Works"], ''Complex'', October 2, 2013.</ref> Another example of endurance artist is Tehching Hsieh. During a performance created in 1980โ1981 (''Time Clock Piece''), where Hsieh took a photo of himself next to time clock installed in his studio every hour for an entire year. Hsieh is also known for his performances about deprivation of freedom; he spent an entire year confined.<ref name="Taylor30April2014">Andrew Taylor, [http://www.smh.com.au/entertainment/art-and-design/tehching-hsieh-the-artist-who-took-the-punches-as-they-came-20140429-37fri.html "Tehching Hsieh: The artist who took the punches as they came"], ''Sydney Morning Herald'', April 30, 2014: "Don't try this endurance art at home. That is Tehching Hsieh's advice to artists inspired to emulate the five year-long performances he began in the late 1970s."</ref> In ''The House With the Ocean View'' (2003), [[Marina Abramoviฤ]] lived silently for twelve days without food.<ref name="McEvilleyApril2003">Thomas McEvilley, "Performing the Present Tense โ A recent piece by Marina Abramovic blended endurance art and Buddhist meditation," ''Art in America'', 91(4), April 2003.</ref> [[The Nine Confinements or The Deprivation of Liberty]] is a conceptual endurance artwork of critical content carried out in the years 2013 and 2016. All of them have in common the illegitimate deprivation of freedom.
