Seductive, fearless, and outrageous, Marina Abramović has been redefining art for nearly 40 years.

Serbian performance artist Marina Abramović has carved a unique artistic path, using her body as a canvas to challenge, shock, and move audiences. This documentary follows Abramović as she prepares for a pivotal moment in her illustrious career—a major retrospective at The Museum of Modern Art titled, ''The Artist is Present.''

Delving into the heart of Marina's artistic process, this film captures her intensity as she prepares for this momentous occasion. Following her unapologetic and daring approach, the film unveils not just the artist but the profound significance of her work, perhaps finally answering the question, ''But why is this art?''
