Marina Abramovic is a performance and video artist. she has done many works spanning from the 70's to now and is highly regarded for her use of body in her pieces. her process of working is based upon how far she can push her body and her boundaries. Abramovic pushes her process to make sure her work is never static and so each performance can give some meaning to the viewers.
This type of pushing is something i would like to have in my own practice and works, so i am never static; always working, always thinking, always questioning. i find that i feel safe in my practice, however, i think that if i can't get myself to think and react to my work, then how will i ever get an audience to? Marina Abramovic you are a champion.
