More quotes by 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.

The only way to change consciousness and the world around us is to start with yourself.
Marina Abramovic
If you're a woman, it's almost impossible to establish a relationship. You're too much for everybody. It's too much. The woman always has to play this role of being fragile and dependent. And if you're not, they're fascinated by you, but only for a little while. And then they want to change you and crush you. And then they leave.
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
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
If you have to do durational work, you have to train! No bullshit. You can't do it for three months. You can do it for five hours, 10 hours, and then you have three months rest. If this is your job, you have to be flexible.
Marina Abramovic
Talking about performance is such a strange thing because it's so immaterial. We are talking about soft matter. We are talking about something that is invisible. You can't see it. You can't touch it. You just can feel it.
Marina Abramovic
Art comes from life, not from the studio
Marina Abramovic
I don't know anything about the afterlife because I haven't been there yet.
