1946, Belgrade, Serbia. Lives and works in New York, USA.
Marina Abramovic became known worldwide for her research in performance art, which as early as the 1960s presented artistic experiences involving the discussion about the limits of the body and the mind, along with a direct relationship between the artist and the public. From the 1980s onward, the artist began to investigate the subjects related to spirituality and religious syncretism, as well as the potentials of the mind, body and spirit, through a connection with nature and the sacred. This investigation took on even greater importance in the artist’s work after her first visit to Brazil, in 1989, when she gained experiences that provided rich material for the production of photographs, videos, sculptures and installations.
