_______________

Marina Abramovic is a Serbian conceptual artist who has spent over five decades redefining the boundaries between performer and audience. Born in Belgrade in 1946, she began her career during a period of intense experimentation, eventually becoming a pioneer of body art. Her practice focuses on the physical and mental limits of the human form, often involving rituals that test her own endurance, pain, and exhaustion. Unlike traditional painters or sculptors, Abramovic uses her body as the primary medium, creating ephemeral experiences that challenge observers to confront their own emotional states.

One of her most significant creative periods involved a lengthy collaboration with the artist Ulay. During the late 1970s and 1980s, the duo lived in a van and traveled across Europe, performing pieces that explored the ego and artistic identity. Their partnership famously concluded with a walk from opposite ends of the Great Wall of China, meeting in the middle to say goodbye. Following this separation, Abramovic continued to produce monumental solo works that earned her international acclaim. In her 2010 retrospective at the Museum of Modern Art, she performed for over seven hundred hours, sitting in silence while strangers took turns sitting across from her. This piece, titled The Artist Is Present, highlighted her ability to create a profound connection through mere stillness and gaze. Today, she continues to influence the global art scene through her foundation, which focuses on the preservation of long-duration performance and the education of new generations in her specific methodology.
