View Trailer | Marina - A Documentary Film about Marina Abramović
In preparation for her upcoming piece to be performed at the Museum of Modern Art this spring, the performance artist Marina Abramovic takes her performers to the woods for a retreat.
To prepare them for the retrospective at MoMA, last Fall Marina invited the re-performers to a workshop at her home in upstate New York. Participants slept outside and did not eat nor speak for four days. They engaged in a regimen of individual and group exercises, such as walking backwards in slow motion, counting grains of rice, and observing a single object for hours. The goal of these exercises was to enable the re-performers to become aware of their limits and to find their own charismatic space.
