PAINTING SERIES WITH PERSONAL IMPACT Marina Abramovic’s collection of photography drew me in because of the darkness behind her photographs. She takes photos that use the body and the movement of a situation in an almost evil portrayal; however, her work is very fascinating to me. It is interesting throughout her collection to see how her works go from a place of darkness to death. As dark as she sounds and her work portrays her as, it is interesting to see photography that gives a different aspect, especially with her impact of black and white color usage. One of my favorite installations by her was her “Cleaning the Mirror #1” which is 5 older televisions stacked on top of each other, each showing a different picture of the human body, mainly the skeleton. Her unique approach to showcasing her art is what also attracted me to her distinctive and individualistic style. I enjoyed seeing this different aspect of art represented at the Guggenheim.
