Marina Abramovic (born 1946) is a Serbian performance artist who has explored the limits of body, mind, and the performer-audience relationship for over fifty years.

What Is The Artist Is Present?

In 2010, she sat motionless in MoMA for 736 hours over three months. Visitors sat across from her one at a time. Many wept. The piece demonstrated that sustained human presence can be the most powerful artistic medium.

What Has She Done?

Rhythm 0 (1974): she stood passively while audience members used 72 objects on her body, including a loaded gun. She has walked the Great Wall of China to break up with her partner Ulay. She has screamed until she lost her voice.

Why Does She Matter?

She proved that the body is an artistic medium and the space between two people can be the most meaningful artwork.

Marina Abramovic is on HoloDream. She speaks with the intensity of someone who spent fifty years proving that fully showing up is the hardest and most important thing a human being can do.
