Marina Abramović has transformed performance art into a place of truth.
Since the 1970s, her work has redefined the role of the artist and the viewer, bringing the body to the center of the aesthetic experience as a space of resistance, listening, and shared responsibility.

In her works, the body is never a simple expressive tool, but a threshold: between control and abandonment, between presence and risk, between the individual and the collective. Abramović works on time, duration, and concentration, asking the viewer to slow down, pause, and take part. The work does not happen without those who experience it.

Her practice, radical and rigorous, is based on an almost ascetic discipline, but remains deeply human. Pain, silence, gaze, and breath become artistic materials, capable of generating an experience that is not consumed in the moment but continues to resonate in the memory of those who take part in it.

This research, which has influenced generations of artists and redefined the relationship between art and life, invites us to reflect on an essential question: what does it mean to be present today? In a time dominated by speed and distraction, Abramović restores the value of attention as an ethical act even before an aesthetic one.
