Marina Abramovic Quotes

With classical ballet you are literally injuring yourself Picture Quote #1

I realise the power of art that does not hang on the walls of galleries Picture Quote #1

I just want to create situations where people forget time Picture Quote #1

I don’t know anything about the afterlife because I haven’t been there yet Picture Quote #1

Through performance, I found the possibility of establishing a dialogue with the audience through an exchange of energy, which tended to transform the energy itself. I could not produce a single work without the presence of the audience, because the audience gave me the energy to be able, through a specific action, to assimilate it and return it, to create a genuine field of energy Picture Quote #1

The experience I learned was that … if you leave decision to the public, you can be killed… I felt really violated: they cut my clothes, stuck rose thorns in my stomach, one person aimed the gun at my head, and another took it away. It created an aggressive atmosphere. After exactly 6 hours, as planned, I stood up and started walking toward the public. Everyone ran away, escaping an actual confrontation Picture Quote #1

I believe so much in the power of performance I don’t want to convince people. I want them to experience it and come away convinced on their own Picture Quote #1

People put so much effort into starting a relationship and so little effort into ending one Picture Quote #1

The function of the artist in a disturbed society is to give awareness of the universe, to ask the right questions, and to elevate the mind Picture Quote #1

Your ego can become an obstacle to your work. If you start believing in your greatness, it is the death of your creativity Picture Quote #1

All my inspiration comes from life. That’s how it never stops, in a way Picture Quote #1

In real life, you just work for the ordinary self, but in the front of audience you become the superself. That’s a completely different thing Picture Quote #1

From the moment you are born, you could die. I think as an artist it is important to meditate on that Picture Quote #1

We always project into the future or reflect in the past, but we are so little in the present Picture Quote #1

Artists should never think of themselves as an idol. Fame is a side effect of one’s work Picture Quote #1

Because of technology, we don’t develop telepathy. We don’t use telepathy, but use, you know, the mobile phones. Why? Picture Quote #1

Even now, I have traces of the good little girl. When I am not performing, for instance, I am really very quiet and ordinary Picture Quote #1

I am only interested in the ideas that become obsessive and make me feel uneasy. The ideas that I’m afraid of Picture Quote #1

I am very clear that I am not a feminist. It puts you into a category and I don’t like that Picture Quote #1

I didn’t get paid for performances most of my life. If I did, I would be billionaire now, and I’m not Picture Quote #1

I hate studio. For me, studio is a trap to overproduce and repeat yourself. It is a habit that leads to art pollution Picture Quote #1

I’m interested in utopian communities of the past. Many of them didn’t survive and I’m examining closely the reasons they failed Picture Quote #1

The public is in need of experiences that are not just voyeuristic. Our society is in a mess of losing its spiritual centre Picture Quote #1

I had a very difficult relationship with my mother. She used to wake me up in the middle of the night if I wasn’t sleeping straight and was messing up the sheets. Now when I stay in hotels I sleep so straight they don’t even think I’ve used the bed Picture Quote #1

If you’re a baker, making bread, you’re a baker. If you make the best bread in the world, you’re not an artist, but if you bake the bread in the gallery, you’re an artist. So the context makes the difference Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

You know how you feel somebody looking at you, and you turn, and somebody actually is? It’s the same at an art gallery. You’re looking at one portrait, turn around, and there is a work of art directly behind you. Because it’s all energy. Every single thing has energy Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

In the performer’s body, you don’t care how you look. It doesn’t matter if you’re old, fat, beautiful, or ugly. It doesn’t change anything. The only thing is your charisma and how you express your idea Picture Quote #1
