“I test the limits of myself in order to transform myself”
“To be a performance artist, you have to hate the theatre. Theatre is fake…The knife is not real, the blood is not real, and the emotions are not real. Performance is just the opposite: the knife is real, the blood is real, and the emotions are real.”
– Marina Abramovic
