But I suppose she had enough faith that the 'safety factor' would have diluted the meaning of her actions.

i guess my point would be that without visibility, without documentation, her action has no meaning.
the irony is that the design of her piece made of her death an aspect of the project. in fact, the project is in a sense perfected by her death.
it skeeves me out a bit, thinking this way, simply because it kinda aestheticizes a rape and murder.
but at the same time, it makes her death an exemplary action, which runs in the opposite direction.
this runs in the same general direction as stockhausen's statement about the trade center attack as a "diabolical piece of conceptual art"--which it was, like it or not.
