Yugoslavian artist Marina Abramović pushes performance art one step farther with her art exhibit 'The Artist is Present.' While nudity is not entirely unexpected in the art world, the visitors to New York City's Museum of Modern Art were a little surprised to find live naked bodies strewn about as pieces of art.
Abramović herself has performed many of the pieces and performs in this exhibit as the artist. This shocking performance art is both imaginative and terrifyingly real.
