Serbian conceptual and performance artist Marina Abramovic has explored body art, endurance art, the relationship between the performer and audience, the limits of the body, and the possibilities of the mind. Active for over four decades, she has been described as the "grandmother of performance art", turning performance into a recognized, mainstream art form, as she uses her own body as the primary medium. In the present work Light Side/Dark Side, Abramović explores the interplay of being both visible and hidden, which symbolizes the tension between lived experience and obscured vulnerable conditions, beauty and façade, strength and vulnerability, resilience and exposure, reflecting socially inscribed identity dualities imposed on human existence. Prints of this image are in the collections of several renowned museums such as the MoMA, New York and the Whitney Museum of American Art.
