My work is immaterial. It's not painting, it's not sculpture, it's emotions. I'm giving you something to experience yourself.
Marina Abramovic
Don't even ask me why. I do not know, I have no answer to this insane behaviour.
Marina Abramovic
To control the breathing is to control the mind. With different patterns of breathing, you can fall in love, you can hate someone, you can feel the whole spectrum of feelings just by changing your breathing.
Marina Abramovic
Happiness comes from the full understanding of your own being.
Marina Abramovic
