The performance art of Marina Abramovic
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 02 January 2018
Abstract
In psychiatric studies of artists, performance art has been relatively neglected. The work of Marina Abramovic places emphasis upon the crossing of limits: both physical and mental. Here the self-wounding which occurs in such a context is contrasted with that seen in the psychiatric setting, among those diagnosed as having ‘personality disorders'.
