Five stages of the Mayan dance

The Lisson Gallery, New York (the USA).

Alabaster.

This work of Marina Abramovic is not a performance, but a real object. These are portraits of the artist from alabaster, made using modern 3-D technologies, which make up a series of five pieces. The paintings are unusual because the figures change their shape depending on the angle of view and seem to be either a human face that has an extreme expression or a semi-abstract landscape similar to a lunar relief. The works demonstrated at the Masterpiece London 2018 exhibition are mounted on high stands and have a backlight that illuminates them from the inside.
