""I am a flickering flame on a lone candle. Exposed to the elements: To wind and rain, to love and hate - in sickness and health... But when it goes out, it cannot be relit. I go forever.""
""Its darkness and resonance creates a space where the work can unfold with greater intensity and the audience becomes physically and emotionally present with each death.""
""It's about death, but it's also about love," says Tine Vindfield, chief curator at Cisternerne, who finds this series to be particularly pertinent right now at a time when the world is marked by conflict and crisis."
Marina Abramović's 'Seven Deaths' exhibition features seven short films that reinterpret operatic plots, focusing on dramatic climaxes related to death and love. The films, set in a dark, subterranean gallery, showcase Abramović and Willem Dafoe in various roles, emphasizing emotional intensity. The exhibition's atmosphere enhances the themes of conflict and crisis, inviting audiences to engage deeply with the narratives. The interplay of light and darkness in the space amplifies the experience, encouraging viewers to confront the inevitability of death and the complexities of love.
