LIGHT/DARK 1977

"LIGHT/DARK" (1977) is a performance artwork by Serbian artist Marina Abramović, known for her conceptual and body-based pieces. The photograph captures the artist, sitting on the floor with her back to the audience, facing another individual whose eyes are closed. Abramović's hand rests gently on the other person's face, creating a powerful visual contrast of light and dark, echoing the piece's title. This work explores themes of vulnerability, trust, and the power of the human connection, inviting viewers to consider the interplay of physical and emotional intimacy within performance art.
