"Abramović Method"

The artist developed the Abramović Method to give the public the opportunity to be free from the constant distractions of our modern world and to be quiet and connected with the present moment. The exercises presented during this workshop were part of the Abramović Method. Participants were able to stay in the space for as long as they want, in order to be with themselves and experience the calmness and the rare feeling of being free from responsibility.
