Marina Abramovicz: The artist is present
A moving film, great theatre and contemporary artwork. Documenting her MoMA show, the build-up, love/life and the experience itself. She’s a heady mix of vulnerability, will power and spiritualism – a sort of living-day Guru. Her strength and beauty is electrifying, not only in her performances but in everything, a pure elegance. I was genuinely touched and left the cinema feeling human, pleasantly sad and a bit slowed-down. Feeling open, I found my eyes resting on the many faces I don’t usually see on my way home. This is definitely art as transformation. With the true generosity of a great artist, she gave people the simple gift of attention; connecting to a fundamental humanity that unites us all.
