Pane started their actions in 1970. These are particularly known for including the artist's self-harm with glass, thorns, blades and fire. Starting in 1981, she wrote partitions instead of performing live actions. All actions carried out by her are documented only by photography .

Gilbert Gatiellier describes in the catalog Gina Pane action Le Lait Chaud : "New Action in a private apartment. Clash of the elements milk (return to the sheltered childhood and the sterile, indifferent white) and blood (life, blood loss, violence and death) and the juxtaposition of playful interludes (ball game, rules of the game) and the words "love - peace - cosmos" with the visualized violence (the artist cuts through her white shirt with a razor in the back). After she has cut her face as well (transgressing the western taboo of beauty), GP directs the camera at the audience and, after shaking the bulwark of their conditioning, forces them to communicate with themselves ”.
