This is the video counterpart of the dated glossy book format of the catalogue that goes along taxpayer subsidized art. And it is well done. The people involved with curating the Moma event seem unscrupulous. The artists themselves are superstitious and lost in mystic raves. Still, Abramovic has a wonderful sense of aesthetics. And, to my surprise, the documentary shows that she is strongly limited by the people around her.
Overall, the production team and Abramovic herself manage to do a far better job of explaining Abramovic's work than any catalogue or review I have seen so far.
