Marina Abramovi\u0107 deconstructs her famous \u201cBlue Period\u201d and \u201cRed Period\u201d video-based works as 1,200 individual photographic stills
\nEach still is unique and one of one, offering collectors a chance to acquire a tangible piece of her performances<\/p>\n
In a new exhibition at Saatchi Yates<\/a> in London, renowned conceptual artist Marina Abramovi\u0107<\/a> is giving her work a radical new form. The landmark show reimagines two of her famous performance videos, \u201cBlue Period\u201d and \u201cRed Period,\u201d by transforming them into a series of 1,200 individual photographic stills.<\/p>\n Akin to the artist periods of Picasso and Matisse, Abramovi\u0107\u2019s pieces explore the extremes of human emotion and physical endurance in her own chapter. In \u201cRed Period,\u201d she is seen in a close up, bathed in red light with her expression shifting between playful and confrontational. In \u201cBlue Period,\u201d she is shown biting her fingernails as a pop song plays, with the act embodying vulnerability and emotional coldness.\n<\/p>\n Originally part of a larger installation, these videos are now reborn as an archive of stillness and intensity. By displaying each unique still, the exhibition invites viewers to engage with the works on a new level, lingering on each frame to witness the intimate details of both performances.\n<\/p>\n Marina Abramovi\u0107: \u201cBlue Period\u201d and \u201cRed Period\u201d is on view at Saatchi Yates in London from October 1-31.\n<\/p>\n Saatchi Yates
