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.
Marina Abramović is recognized as one of the greatest icons of contemporary art in the world and a pioneer of performance art. Over the past 50 years, she has captivated audiences by pushing the limits of her body and mind. Her legacy is currently the focus of a major solo exhibition in Switzerland, at Kunsthaus Zürich, which features works spanning all periods of her career.
In The Jump, Abramović plays Tosca, one of the heroines from her opera Seven Deaths of Maria Callas. With costumes designed by Italian fashion designer Riccardo Tisci, the opera pays tribute to the legendary soprano Maria Callas and has been staged in major cities around the world, including London, Paris, Madrid, Milan, and Athens.
