- Interview with Marina Abramović. Due to copyright limitations we don’t show the clips mentioned, but instead we describe them below.
00:00 Introduction
The video opens with tv static, followed by the animated logo that used to introduce Radio Television Belgrade broadcasts in the late 1950s. It is a classic globe animation with a black-and-white banner draped around it.
08:04 Death of Tito (1980)
Clip from Days of Pain and Pride (RTS 1980) by Dejan Karaklajić, documenting the days after the death of Marshal Josip Broz Tito. Correspondents from all Yugoslav TV centers cooperated to make this film. President Tito died in Ljubljana on May 4, 1980. We see a visibly disconcerted news reader announcing his death on television, followed by images of people upset and crying. Among them a group of miners, who have taken off their helmets to sing next to a portrait of the deceased leader. Tito’s body was brought to Belgrade on the luxurious Blue Train that he used for traveling in Yugoslavia. We see images of the coffin on the train and of flowers and huge crowds of people lining the railway tracks all over the country.
21:47 Artist Tehching Hsieh (2017)
This interview was recorded at the Venice Biennale in 2017, where performance artist Tehching Hsieh had an overview exhibition of his six performances lasting one entire year. In One Year Performance 1980-1981 (Time Clock Piece), Hsieh subjected himself to the discipline of clocking on to a worker’s time clock on the hour, every hour, for a whole year. Hsieh: ‘In a way, punching a clock is not productive and thus time wasted. (...) To me, the one-year unit is precisely a basic measure of human life on this planet. One year is also the time for the earth to circle once around the sun. It relates the rhythm of the entire universe. For me, it is not about suffering, it is about survival, but I am not going to emphasize that. Because my work is not about endurance. If it were, then I would extend it for another year. It is not that I don’t believe it can be done but no one would want to waste the time to do it. In fact, of all human behaviors, which one is not wasting time?’
30:06 Three “head pieces”
Head Piece (1997) by Melati Suryodarmo refers to her feelings about the cultural and political state of her homeland, Indonesia. The black-and-white video shows a close-up of the artist, eyes looking straight into the camera, with her fists clenched, circling and blocking her ears.
In Hullabelly (2002), artist Nezaket Ekici gives the everyday hula hoop a political twist, altering the use of the glittering hoop by restricting its performance to her neck, where it makes repeated contact with her headscarf.
The piece Dead Tongue (2015) features artist Christian Thompson with two paper Union Jack pennants fluttering between his teeth. The sound is of the artist singing in his father's Indigenous Australian language of Bidjara, a language categorized as extinct.
38:53 Art Meets Science and Spirituality in a Changing Economy (1990)
A five-day conference at Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam which brought together scientists, economists, thinkers and artists. The clip shows the Dalai Lama, artist Robert Rauschenberg, scientist David Bohm and economist Stanislav Menshikov talking about competition and compassion. Scientist Fritjof Capra interrupts the conversation: In patriarchal societies, people frequently talk about human nature when they really mean ‘male human nature’. That is a very frequent confusion. And I think the discussion this morning about competition is a good example of a question that we cannot expect to be solved by an all male panel.
47:11 The Color of Pomegranates (1969)
The color of Pomegranates is a 1969 Soviet Armenian art film by Sergei Parajanov. The film is a poetic treatment of the life of 18th-century Armenian poet and troubadour Sayat-Nova. The clip shows scenes that illustrate life in the monastery and the cycle of life: monks eating pomegranates and pressing grapes, an orthodox priest performing a ritual with incense, a religious wedding ceremony, death and the baptism of a newborn baby.
54:45 Maria by Callas (2017)
This documentary by Tom Volf depicts the life and work of opera singer Maria Callas in her own words, using performances, TV interviews, home movies, family photographs, private letters and unpublished memoirs-nearly all of which have never been shown to the public. In the clip Maria Callas talks about her difficult childhood and her demanding mother, who had decided that Maria should become a famous singer.
01:07:40 Spirit House: Insomnia (1997
In this clip we see a younger Marina Abramović wearing a black dress in a white room with just one beam of light dancing the tango, not with a partner but with her own shadow. Marina does not look at the camera and seems to be dancing in the space all by herself. We hear the song Ana El Owerka by Algerian singer Lili Boniche.
The interviewer is so anxious, interrupting all the time.
I think she was really nice.
Why is she interrupting/cutting short Marina when she is answering her questions
"I'm not interested in the past, I'm only interested in the present, I only care about what I'm going to do next"
Thanks for this lesson
Marina is aging like fine wine, she's so beautiful.
Mmmmm... Adrienochrome...
All these commenters that are saying the interviewer looks "terrified", "afraid", or "scared" of Marina, you're all very poor interpreters of someone's body language. Not even once did she ever look fearful. You are paranoid, delusional, gullible, and desperately grasping for a straw that isn't even there.
♥ Fabulous interview. Adore you Marina Abramović ♥♥♥♥♥💛💛💛💛
Thank You Warrior Woman! You are appreciated.
She has a spirit cooking video on YouTub. She goes around pouring blood everywhere and writing all kinds of shit on the walls. Very disturbing and all in the name of “art”.
Abramovic? Harari? Are these really the opinions that matter?
Marina you are lying or you are missinformed...anyone could buy TV in SFR Yugoslavia, not just officials! And we had lots of various films, not just war... And the biggest rubbish here at the beginning is total ignorance of the system she was living - it was NOT communist but social democracy. This is not just me saying as an Yugoslavian but there is enough historic document proofing it! I shall not continue watching this interview ...it is offence to me as an Artist as well as Yugoslavian.
In 1950s? Hardly.
Marina has such a sick mind knows nothing about history of Tito. Why is she worthy of such interview, such a witch 🧙
Love Marina❤
The interviewer look scared
because she is interviewing with a Demon.
She thinks she is open minded. She is haunted by her own experiences.
And do not get drunk with wine, for that is dissipation, but be filled with the Spirit, speaking to one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody with your heart to the Lord; always giving thanks for all things in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ to God, even the Father; and be subject to one another in the fear of Christ. Ephesians 5:18-21
My father new about what she speaks about , rest in peace ☮️
I didn't know that Bella Laggosi had a transvestite twin brother?
Beautiful conversation.💚💚💚
tell that to the victims of the john of god cult
@@lesliescottw Who? What? Nothing of the sort was mentioned in this conversation, did you even watch it?
it needs pointed out you ok with that she is known for the cult she helped who they abused children is that ok with you@@macronomicus
@@lesliescottw Why would I believe some random person on the internet making a claim without any shred of evidence & trying to connect something completely unrelated to the video or the people in it? Try with non-thinking people, might get farther than nowhere at all.
google it @@macronomicus

nojzi hvala, udba dozna pravac
Cher and Marina Abramovic were born the same year
What are you suggesting?
Nothing,I just say they were born the same year
@@paulch5394 random asf to say
The fact that you would give this woman any kind of platform is disgusting!
Disgusting is on the menu these days
Why? What did she even do
@@ilovedeftones1013 look up “Marina Abramovic for Dust magazine” along with her spirit cooking videos and also her connections to a lot of p*dophiles.
I think she is the antichrist if there was one, even so, I want her to have a platform. People don’t get the strategic role of free speech. Now we can see and hear the evil.
And who the hell are you? I'm here because I'm interested in this content, interested to hear about Marina Abramovic's life and work experience. Who are you to call anybody disgusting? Do you see yourself as disgusting, too?
Didnt expect this one, this should be interesting. Thank you.
So stupid they can’t show parts of the show because of copyright. Makes it so confusing for me. And they can’t even link the clips they have to describe them in words. That sucks. Not their fault obviously, But it’s her, so I’m going to try my best. I wonder what she thinks about all the conspiracy rumors about her? I’m guessing she probably doesn’t look, or looks and doesn’t care. Or makes art of them.
You know you've won at life when the ignorant men say you are a witch. Love to Marina. ❤
You don't know anything about demonic symbolism, do you? Well, she does, and she REALLY loves it very much.
@@somedude2853 Cool story.
@@Nk66222 hey, cool obliviousness.
@@Nk66222 I can’t even believe someone could be as dumb as you 😂
Ummm no she calls herself a witch. Which she is not, she's a saran worshipper and if you're going to defend her don't even bother replying
Pure evil 🤢🤬
She's liar im 44 years from ex Yugoslavia my family's in 1972 owned Grunding tv German made
She’s 70
She was talking about the 1950s.
Why talk about clips that we don't get to see? Kinda defeats the purpose, talking about something with no context is confusing.
istina, udba u kogaje uperila, cao, sad je sve stalo
She looks so young for being in her 70s. She is fascinating. Thank you.
She using Adrenochrome
Foreskin of babies… look it up. That’s just the beginning.
Child sacrifice and cannibalism
Plastic surgery
satanic
Njen brat se sada ozenio lepoticom.
Yep and so many our complimenting her,she's satanic,she's evil !
Baljezga li baljezga ova , ko nije bio komunista nije mogao imati tv….ma more mars.
I need to do my research if there was ever a female devil 😈
ja, no,ja se me bavim, interesantno je cuti
@33:46
The cover shot of Marina and the model is utterly appalling. The young woman has a look in her eye that I can only describe as a resigned kind of terror. As if she knows her death is near and it is completely unavoidable.
That crystal wall - is it a healing place or something more sinister? Urghh 😵
Please keep investigating this woman.
What you talking about?
obavezno dodji mi na dane
You gonna interview demons, I'm done with you guys too.
Lol
I dont think demons are going around calling themselves artists 🤣🤣🙄
Vpro is so upset to see you leaving… lol 😂
shes gonna getcha
very young drink blood?😡😡😡😱😰😥😢😭
It seems odd that an artist of her supposed reputation would have plastic surgery. Seems the opposite of what artists would do.
ili puno traze ili sam ja dobro

12:54 One such living leader sadly comes to mind: Kim Jong Un
