The exhibition centers on her ongoing interest in rituals, eroticism, death, and the body as a site of political resistance. Drawing on the folklore of the Balkans—the region where Abramović grew up—the exhibition interweaves filmic and sculptural installations with live performances. In it, Abramović explores eroticism as a bridge between life and death that connects the self and the cosmos.
