“Bag Piece,” created by artist Yoko Ono in 1964, is a performance artwork belonging to the Neo-Dada art movement. In the artwork, the subject is completely shrouded with a large, dark fabric that conceals their form, creating a mysterious and ambiguous presence under the light. This act of concealment forces the viewer to engage in an imaginative process to contemplate the unseen performer beneath the fabric, ultimately questioning the nature of identity and perception. The simplicity of the draped fabric and the focused use of lighting evoke a sense of introspective contemplation, inviting deep visual and philosophical inquiry.
