Marina Abramovich is considered one of the main figures in the art of performance today. In addition, she is ranked fifth on the Art Review’s 100 Most Influential People in Art 2014 list, and in terms of the number of press mentions, including gossip, she can compete with Hollywood stars. In her work, Marina Abramovich also strives for maximum results, testing the possibilities of her body and psyche to the limit.
For example, one of her most famous performances could have ended in death for Abramovich: the artist laid out 72 different objects on the table and invited the audience to take any of them and use at their own discretion on the artist’s body. Among the items, in addition to roses and a feather boa, was a loaded pistol.
