More quotes by Marina Abramovic
I never say Serbia. I always say I come from a country that no longer exists.
Marina Abramovic
An artist should not fall in love with another artist.
Marina Abramovic
Performance has to be mainstream art. This is what I'm fighting for.
Marina Abramovic
Time is an illusion. Time only exists when we think about the past and the future. Time doesn't exist in the present here and now.
Marina Abramovic
You know the movie Rashomon from [Takeshi] Kurosawa, when all the people in the forest see something different? Each performance was like that.
Marina Abramovic
The public is in need of experiences that are not just voyeuristic. Our society is in a mess of losing its spiritual centre.
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
You know, everyone is always talking about plastic surgery, or the technology, what to do. I really think it's important to help yourself with the technology if you want to feel better, but I am absolutely against any kind of monstrous cuts of the body, lifting that is beyond recognition, this kind of stuff.
Marina Abramovic
Television is completely another medium. For me, Lady Gaga and HBO are bringing us to mass culture.
Marina Abramovic
I always sent my mother all these huge books I made. When my mother died, I was cleaning her cupboard, and these big books were only 20 pages long. She edited out, maybe burned, every single photograph where I'm naked.
Marina Abramovic
We don't have politicians with dignity and morals. We never have, not since [Nelson] Mandela and [Mahatma ] Gandhi. It's really rare.
Marina Abramovic
Typically, the performance has a story - a beginning, the crescendo and the end.
Marina Abramovic
The most revolutionary ideas are not sellable, but only mind-changing.
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
Talking about [Donald] Trump, there's nothing wrong with Trump. He's who he is. It's wrong with us, who let him [win]. That's what's wrong. It's not that he's going to change, but the people who think like him.
Marina Abramovic
If you look at the lives of artists, sitting in nature, painting, having the freedom. I think it's over. I think we're living in such a difficult moment of human development. Artists have more responsibility than ever before.
Marina Abramovic
We're destroying the planet, and the planet rebels.
Marina Abramovic
If we go for the easy way, then we never change.
Marina Abramovic
Once you live in New York, you can't live anywhere else. Living in Paris is like going in slow motion. It's so bourgeois. I get so bored.
Marina Abramovic
Don't even ask me why. I do not know, I have no answer to this insane behaviour.
