Abstract

The mother of performance art Marina Abramović, uses her body as a medium to convey the value of life and the essence of art in a series of performances. Why does she choose to use her body as her creative material, and what kind of bodily consciousness and aesthetic does she express in her works? Throughout her exploration of artistic forms, Abramović has experienced various stages, ultimately revealing insights into bodily aesthetics: human aesthetic activities are completed through the body, and its involvement serves as both a way to attain multidimensional aesthetic experiences and to enhance self-awareness, achieve physical and mental balance, and grasp the true essence of life.
