Don't even ask me why. I do not know, I have no answer to this insane behaviour.

Typically, the performance has a story - a beginning, the crescendo and the end.
Marina Abramovic
An artist has to look at the future, to see what we can do better.
Marina Abramovic
I serve like a bridge. I go to other cultures, learn, put myself in different situations and learn as much as I can, and then go to Western cultures to give. I'm doing this bridging all the time.
Marina Abramovic
Every party is the same, too many people, too little food, and you have to wait around. I'm extremely bored with parties.
