After all this I went to class with swirling thoughts, if that was the preparation, what are we going to do on the lesson?

Before class everyone tried to probe about who watched it, what the others` opinions are. I tried to conceal that I couldn`t understand too much from all this. Now I can say luckily (I didn`t feel so that time) we watched it again on the lesson…

Seeing it again It didn`t seem to be the same film. I didn`t shudder because of the pure facts. It made me think about what she would like to express, how it makes me feel.

The film begins and follows the artist through her way at the preparations of a retrospective life work exhibition at the 2010 Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) using archive recordings.

Marina`s works were born in the moment, they can be repeated by recreating the moment. So at the exhibition young voluntary artists under her directions repeated the productions. There was one exception, which was recreated by Marina herself in a slightly different way, she involved the audience. This gave the title of the film. She was a living art. In this case Marina Abramovic was sitting in a dress waiting the people sitting in front of her. She was only sitting and watching. She was present end performing during the museum`s opening time three month long. She gave herself in the most simple and indirect way. She focused only on the person sitting in front of her. It doesn`t seem to be too complicated, at first…

New York`s audience camped day and night in snaking lines like rock star fans, thy wanted to get in for sure. At that moment I began to believe in it. It gives more and more intensive feelings. And Abramovic stared, for goodbye she looked down and up again… It gets you, gets through even on screen.
