How does Abramović use endurance in her performances?
Endurance is a primary tool to access a different state of consciousness, both for myself and for the viewer. By pushing my body to its limits, I create a situation where time and perception shift. The prolonged duration allows for a buildup of energy and a stripping away of social pretenses. It's about observing what happens when the body is challenged, when the mind has to confront its own limitations, and what revelations emerge from that struggle.
