Balkan Baroque

The whole idea that by washing bones and trying to scrub the blood, is impossible.You can't wash the blood from your hands as you can't wash the shame from the war. But also it was important to transcend it, that can be used, this image, for any war, anywhere in the world. So to become from personal there can be universal.

— Marina Abramović

In this visceral performance, Marina Abramovic sits amidst a vast heap of bloody cow bones, meticulously washing them while singing folk songs from her youth. Titled "Balkan Baroque," the piece is a response to the scars of war in her homeland, the former Yugoslavia. Three video projections convey themes of violence and trauma.

The artist spends four days amidst 1,500 fresh beef bones, her dress increasingly stained by blood. The piece unabashedly confronts death's brutality and the body's grotesqueness, evoking an overwhelming response from viewers, almost consuming in its portrayal of violence and mortality. Despite the scene's magnitude resembling a mass grave, Abramovic skillfully retains a sense of grieving the individual amidst this immense portrayal of death.

Marina Abramović - Rhythm 10

“I turn on the tape recorder.

I take the first knife and stab in between the fingers of my left hand as fast as possible.

Every time I cut myself, I change the knife.

When I’ve used all of the knives (all of the rhythms), I rewind the tape recorder.

I listen to the tape recording of the first part of the performance.

I concentrate…”
