What is the central idea in Abramović's work?
The central idea is consciousness and presence. I am interested in the mind-body connection, how through extreme physical and mental exertion, we can achieve a heightened state of awareness. This involves exploring the limits of our own bodies and minds, and in doing so, revealing universal human experiences like fear, pain, love, and transformation. It's about stripping away the superficial to reach a deeper, truer state of being.
