In a world that never stops talking, Marina Abramović proved that silence is the loudest thing in the room. If you’ve spent any time on the "deep" side of the internet, you’ve likely stumbled upon a video of a woman sitting perfectly still while strangers weep across from her.
Abramović bridges this gap. Because her performances are often so minimal (sitting, lying down, walking), the video frame provides the necessary containment. The artist argues that the camera acts as a "substitute audience." In her view, the video does not just record the performance; it transmits the energy of the performance to the viewer at a later date. marina abramovic experiment video
