Portraits taken during the MoMA's exhibit of performance artist "Marina Abramović: The Artist Is Present". Abramovic sits at a table in silence, and museum guests can sit across from her and stare. Some people couldn't handle the heat. More portraits here and more on video here
very strong portraits, i wonder how she made them all cry and not laughing?
BeantwoordenVerwijderenI imagine that if you look that long* at a stranger, in the eye, that the suprise of the experience is childlike, breaks down barriers, makes energy flow, and tears flow. sad or happy tears.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenWhen I look at the portraits I also wonder how she is looking at that same moment. And, less romantic, where is the great cameraman in this intimate setting? I will read more *almost reading*
(*I like the time put below the portraits)
