Marina Abramovi\u0107 is one of the world\u2019s most well-known performance artists. Since the 1970s, pain, taboos, endurance, time, rituals, and intimacy have been recuring themes in her work, which often stretches both her own limits and those of the audience. The hunt that takes place at Wan\u00e5s became the point of departure for Marina Abramovi\u0107\u2019s artwork The Hunt Chair for Animal Spirits<\/em>. Hunting trophies\u2014deer and moose antlers\u2014have been attached along the 12-meter high legs of the chair. Abramovi\u0107 describes her source of inspiration for the artwork: \u201cI lived among the Aboriginals in the center of Australia they learned [sic] me that we have to be very aware that our inner balance depends of the Earth Spirits. If we take something from the nature: a leaf, branch, stones, fruits or animals, we have to replace this by giving to the spirits. I was very inspired by this idea of exchange; if you take you have to give. In this way I developed the idea of a chair for the animal spirits which is a forest totem at the same time.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
