Marina Abramovic - En présence de l'artiste

Marina Abramovic: The Artist Is Present follows the glamorous, fearless, controversial performance artist Marina Abramovic as she prepares for what may be the most important moment of her life: a major retrospective of her work at New York’s Museum of Modern Art. To be given a retrospective at one of the world’s premiere museums is, for any living artist, the most exhilarating sort of milestone. For Marina, it is far more. For four decades, she has used her own body as a medium, pushing herself beyond her physical and mental limits, and at times risking her life in the process; now, with the show at MoMA, she has the chance to finally silence the question she has been hearing over and over again throughout her career: “So why is this art?” A mesmerizing journey through the landscape of radical performance, Marina Abramovic: The Artist Is Present offers an intimate, engaging portrait of an endlessly intriguing woman who draws no distinction between art and life.
