More quotes by Marina Abramovic
I'm interested in utopian communities of the past. Many of them didn't survive and I'm examining closely the reasons they failed.
Marina Abramovic
Today, our attention is less than the television advertisement. We're looking at six or seven problems constantly. We're living in the disturbed societies of cities. I think modern technology is one of the worst things human beings have invented.
Marina Abramovic
An artist has to look at the future, to see what we can do better.
Marina Abramovic
When you have a nonverbal conversation with a total stranger, then he cant cover himself with words, he cant create a wall.
Marina Abramovic
We're destroying the planet, and the planet rebels.
Marina Abramovic
I say we don't need art in nature, because it's so perfect without us. We need it in the cities. But the cities have absolutely lost their own center. They think having ten cars and a big bridge is the way to happiness. It's not.
Marina Abramovic
Why not do something strange and different for once? Artists can do whatever they want!
Marina Abramovic
The only way to change consciousness and the world around us is to start with yourself.
Marina Abramovic
I had such an intense relationship to every person. I still see people on the street and we lock eyes, and say Oh my god! and we just kiss and stay like that and sometimes cry.
Marina Abramovic
You know, James Franco is one of the most interesting figures because he has no rules. He breaks all the borders.
Marina Abramovic
I believe stories are very important to all performances. The life story of the performer shapes their work, and the life stories of the audience alter how they receive the work, what they read into the performer.
Marina Abramovic
Your ego can become an obstacle to your work. If you start believing in your greatness, it is the death of your creativity.
Marina Abramovic
Happiness comes from the full understanding of your own being.
Marina Abramovic
I never say Serbia. I always say I come from a country that no longer exists.
Marina Abramovic
You know, art is very emotional business. But mostly it becomes not emotional, the fabric of commodity. It becomes business. It becomes so many different things. Because we forgot there was emotions involved.
Marina Abramovic
There's nothing more tragic than artists from the 70s still doing art from the 70s.
Marina Abramovic
When I did Seven Easy Pieces, I actually re-performed the performances of other artists. It was such difficult work because I had to really go through the documentation, look through the sources, to ask the witnesses who saw it.
Marina Abramovic
Don't even ask me why. I do not know, I have no answer to this insane behaviour.
Marina Abramovic
The body has an enormous power of healing, if you really believe you are going to be healed, you're going to be healed. If you really believe you're going to die, you're going to die. If you apply this kind of method to everything, then there is hope.
Marina Abramovic
The hardest thing to do is something that is close to nothing.
Marina Abramovic
