Marina Abramović, the famous Serbian performance artist, recently revealed why she allowed fashion designer Riccardo Tisci to “suck her t**” for an art project. Known for pushing limits, Abramović explained the collaboration on Massimo Dutti’s YouTube channel.
When Tisci suggested working together, Abramović asked if fashion really takes inspiration from art. He agreed, and she said, “I am art because I use my body, so you will suck my t**.” It was a difficult act, but one she felt made a strong statement in fashion.
Abramović’s career includes extreme performances like ‘Rhythm 0’ in 1974, where she let the audience use objects on her body, accepting all consequences. The event was risky, with some people even threatening her life.
She later told The Guardian she was “ready to die” but was lucky to survive.
