Marina Abramovic

Marina Abramović is a pioneering performance artist whose work explores the limits of the body, the endurance of the mind, and the relationship between artist and audience. Born in Belgrade, Serbia, in 1946, she has been a defining force in contemporary art for over five decades.

Often called “the grandmother of performance art,” Abramović has created groundbreaking works such as The Artist Is Present, Rhythm 0, and Balkan Baroque, challenging viewers to confront vulnerability, pain, and human connection. Her performances blur the line between art and life, inviting profound emotional and psychological engagement.

Through her performances, installations, and the Marina Abramović Institute, she continues to inspire generations of artists to explore consciousness, presence, and the transformative power of art.
