Words being abject

This video completely gives me the creeps. This is a great example of benign and neutral words becoming completely abject, because of the way they are spoken, because of the strangely intentional disorder that they are spoken with. This intentionality is completely context dependant- a woman in the street speaking these words frantically is not a poem or a work of art, it is an expression of an abject mental state. But here, it is a work of art willingly exploring the abject corners of the mind a, with the ability to step back out of these corners at the end of the experiment.
