Shot across beaches, fields, and village edges in Kerala, India,

Marina Abramovic wearing ABODI Transylvania embroidered black “Mourning of Kalotaszeg” artefact look. A double black vest lined with coarse, raw hemp fabric. The outer vest is made of velvet, richly embroidered with black beads and silk thread. The inner lining is crafted from a jacquard-woven fabric with a minimalist pattern, a glossy, silk-like material, also lavishly embroidered with silk thread and beads.

The lower skirt is a three-layered black matte skirt adorned with tassels, over which lie two layers: a pleated apron and an overskirt. These elements are likewise richly embroidered with silk thread and beads. The ensemble is paired with a white raw cotton shirt made from vintage fabric—simple and puritan in origin, derived from traditional mourning attire, yet through its embroidery it carries multiple layers of interpretation and meaning.

“Marina Abramović’s “Transforming Energy” concept explores the idea of energy exchange between the artist and the audience, using her body as a medium to tap into this transformative power.”
