        在人們真情流露的當下最能打動人心，你曾經在眾人面前展現最脆弱的一面嗎?行為藝術家Marina Abramović 做了一項藝術界的創舉，她靜坐於紐約現代藝術博物館長達兩個半月的時間，像雕像般的與將近1500人對視，利用眼神交流刺探並捕捉出人性最錯弱的一面，讓我們一起來認識Marina Abramović與她的藝術創舉吧！

    The centerpiece of “Marina Abramović: The Artist Is Present”, the landmark retrospective of this pioneer of performance art’s oeuvre, was Abramovic herself, who sat silently in the museum’s atrium inviting visitors to take a seat across from her for as long as they chose. She sat every day for the run of the show—716 hours and 30 minutes— and faced over 1500 people, whose involvement completed the work. Photographer and collaborator Anelli documented every interaction, taking a portrait of each participant and noting the time they spent in the chair.

Just as Abramovic’s piece concerned duration, the photographs give the viewer a chance to experience the performance from Abramovic’s perspective. They reveal both dramatic and mundane moments, and speak to the humanity of such interactions, just as the performance itself did. The resultant photographs are mesmerizing and intense, putting a face to the world of art lovers while capturing what they shared during their contact with the artist.

Reminiscent of Walker Evans’s subway photographs and Harry Callahan’s Women Lost in Thought, this powerful series speaks to photography’s capacity to explore the human experience from an unobserved view-point. While Anelli is not engaging the sitters or Abramovic directly, his meta-performance as gathered in Portraits in the Presence of Marina Abramovic is a compelling testament to the cathartic power of the gaze and our connection to one another.
