ABOUT THE SPEAKER
Marina Abramović - Performance artist
In her performances she’s been cut, burned, and nearly shot -- but Marina Abramović's boldest work yet is a gargantuan institute dedicated to transformation through art.

Why you should listen

Marina Abramović burst onto the '70s art scene with cathartic performances that tested the limits of spectator participation and personal safety. The Artist Is Present, a Museum of Modern Art performance in which thousands of viewers queued for hours to face Abramović across a table, moved many to tears, and launched Abramović into mainstream celebrity.

Her latest work-in-progress is the MAI (Marina Abramović Institute), a sprawling upstate New York complex devoted to the preservation of durational performance pieces, arts education and the pursuit of heightened consciousness through Abramović’s artistic practices.

Marina Abramović: An art made of trust, vulnerability and connection

玛丽娜·阿布拉莫维奇: 由信任、脆弱和联系构成的艺术

Filmed:
2,579,103 views

玛丽娜·阿布拉莫维奇的艺术,在追求增强个人意识和个人改变的过程中,不断拉近观众和艺术家的距离。她在2010年举行了一场名为“艺术家在现场“的表演,极富开创性,她坐在一把椅子上,直面观众,每天八小时……表演效果非常打动人。这还远不是她最大胆的成就——她打算建立一个庞大的艺术机构,专门设计实验和需要集中注意力的简单动作。“如果你总是用相同的方式做事,生活将会波澜不惊,”她说。“我的方法是去尝试自己害怕的事情,不明白的事情,去探索未知的领域。“

41
157280
5000
他们无法面对我,因为我终究
还是一个正常的人类(而不是物体)。
02:54
And then --
42
162760
1320
随后——
02:57
what happened发生
43
165080
1480
发生的事情就是,
02:59
is I went to the hotel旅馆,
it was at two in the morning早上.
44
167240
4480
我回到酒店,已经是凌晨两点。
03:05
And
45
173080
1680
然后,
03:07
I looked看着 at myself in the mirror镜子,
46
175680
2200
我看着镜子中的自己,
03:10
and I had a piece of gray灰色 hair头发.
47
178520
3800
发现自己竟生出了几缕白发。
03:16
Alright好的 --
48
184080
1360
好了——
03:18
please take off your blindfolds眼罩.
49
186000
2040
请摘下你们的眼罩。
03:22
Welcome欢迎 to the performance性能 world世界.
50
190760
2280
欢迎来到表演的世界。
03:25
First of all, let's explain说明
what the performance性能 is.
51
193520
3360
首先,让我们来解释一下
什么是表演。
03:29
So many许多 artists艺术家,
so many许多 different不同 explanations说明,
52
197840
2536
有如此多的艺术家,
如此多的不同解释,
03:32
but my explanation说明
for performance性能 is very simple简单.
53
200400
2760
而我对表演的理解非常简单。
03:35
Performance性能 is a mental心理
and physical物理 construction施工
54
203640
4576
表演就是一种心理和身体的结合,
03:40
that the performer演员 makes品牌
in a specific具体 time
55
208240
2816
由表演者在特定时间
03:43
in a space空间 in front面前 of an audience听众
56
211080
3296
和特定空间内,面对观众呈现出来,
03:46
and then energy能源 dialogue对话 happens发生.
57
214400
2320
并由此产生一种能量的共鸣。
03:49
The audience听众 and the performer演员
make the piece together一起.
58
217280
3520
(表演)是由观众和表演者
共同来完成的。
03:53
And the difference区别 between之间
performance性能 and theater剧院 is huge巨大.
59
221600
3760
表演和戏剧的差别是巨大的。
03:58
In the theater剧院, the knife is not a knife
60
226240
3456
在戏剧里,刀不是真刀,
04:01
and the blood血液 is just ketchup番茄酱.
61
229720
1920
血也只是番茄酱。
04:04
In the performance性能,
the blood血液 is the material材料,
62
232040
4536
而在表演中,血是材料,
04:08
and the razor剃刀 blade or knife is the tool工具.
63
236600
3296
而剃须刀片或者刀
是(加工材料的)工具。
04:11
It's all about being存在 there
in the real真实 time,
64
239920
3896
所有东西都是实时呈现的,
04:15
and you can't rehearse排练 performance性能,
65
243840
1856
表演是没办法排练的,
04:17
because you can't do many许多
of these types类型 of things twice两次 -- ever.
66
245720
4320
因为很多表演无法重复。
04:23
Which哪一个 is very important重要,
the performance性能 is --
67
251360
2496
这一点很重要,因为表演是——
04:25
you know, all human人的 beings众生
are always afraid害怕 of very simple简单 things.
68
253880
4296
大家都知道,人类总害怕
一些非常简单的东西。
04:30
We're afraid害怕 of suffering痛苦,
we're afraid害怕 of pain疼痛,
69
258200
3376
我们害怕受苦,害怕疼痛,
04:33
we're afraid害怕 of mortality死亡.
70
261600
2080
我们恐惧死亡。
04:36
So what I'm doing --
71
264240
1256
因此我的表演——
04:37
I'm staging分期 these kinds of fears恐惧
in front面前 of the audience听众.
72
265520
4216
我将这些恐惧都呈现在观众面前。
04:41
I'm using运用 your energy能源,
73
269760
2176
我运用你们的能量,
04:43
and with this energy能源 I can go
and push my body身体 as far as I can.
74
271960
5776
有了这些能量,
我尽可能地忍受这些恐惧。
04:49
And then I liberate解放 myself
from these fears恐惧.
75
277760
3576
然后再将自己从恐惧中解放出来。
04:53
And I'm your mirror镜子.
76
281360
1296
我就是你们的镜子。
04:54
If I can do this for myself,
you can do it for you.
77
282680
3280
如果我能做到,那么你们也能。
04:58
After Belgrade贝尔格莱德, where I was born天生,
78
286720
2056
在离开我的家乡贝尔格莱德之后,
05:00
I went to Amsterdam阿姆斯特丹.
79
288800
2280
我前往阿姆斯特丹。
05:03
And you know, I've been doing performances演出
80
291440
2616
在那里,我从事表演
05:06
since以来 the last 40 years年份.
81
294080
2256
长达40年之久。
05:08
And here I met会见 Ulay乌莱,
82
296360
1576
在这里,我遇到了乌拉伊,
05:09
and he was the person
I actually其实 fell下跌 in love with.
83
297960
3376
他是我真正爱上的人。
05:13
And we made制作, for 12 years年份,
performances演出 together一起.
84
301360
3136
我们在一起从事表演12年。
05:16
You know the knife
and the pistols手枪 and the bullets子弹,
85
304520
3256
我将刀、手枪和子弹,
05:19
I exchange交换 into love and trust相信.
86
307800
2936
换成了爱和信任。
05:22
So to do this kind work
you have to trust相信 the person completely全然
87
310760
3616
要完成这个表演,
你得完全信任对方,
05:26
because this arrow箭头
is pointing指点 to my heart.
88
314400
3016
因为那支箭正对着我的心脏。
05:29
So, heart beating跳动 and adrenaline肾上腺素
is rushing and so on,
89
317440
4336
我心跳加速,肾上腺素飙升,
05:33
is about trust相信, is about total trust相信
to another另一个 human人的 being存在.
90
321800
4520
这就是信任,
对另一个人完全的信任。
05:39
Our relationship关系 was 12 years年份,
91
327320
2216
我们的关系维持了12年,
05:41
and we worked工作 on so many许多 subjects主题,
both male and female energy能源.
92
329560
3856
我们合作了非常多的项目,
涉及到了男性和女性的能量。
05:45
And as every一切 relationship关系
comes to an end结束, ours我们的 went too.
93
333440
4136
但天下没有不散的筵席,
我俩最终也分开了。
05:49
We didn't make phone电话 calls电话
like normal正常 human人的 beings众生 do
94
337600
3656
我们没有像其他人一样,
通过打电话分手,
05:53
and say, you know, "This is over."
95
341280
1976
说一句,“咱们结束吧。”
05:55
We walked the Great Wall
of China中国 to say goodbye再见.
96
343280
3000
我们以爬中国长城的方式来分手。
05:58
I started开始 at the Yellow黄色 Sea,
and he started开始 from the Gobi戈壁 Desert沙漠.
97
346640
4080
我从黄海启程,他从戈壁滩出发。
06:03
We walked, each of us, three months个月,
98
351200
3376
我们俩各自行走了3个月,
06:06
two and a half thousand kilometers公里.
99
354600
1840
走完了2500公里。
06:08
It was the mountains, it was difficult.
100
356800
1976
山高路险,困难重重。
06:10
It was climbing攀登, it was ruins废墟.
101
358800
2336
我们翻山越岭,穿越废墟。
06:13
It was, you know, going through通过
the 12 Chinese中文 provinces,
102
361160
3096
我们横跨了中国的12个省份,
06:16
this was before China中国 was open打开 in '87.
103
364280
3816
当时是1987年,中国尚未开放。
06:20
And we succeeded成功 to meet遇到 in the middle中间
104
368120
3536
我俩成功在中点处碰头了,
06:23
to say goodbye再见.
105
371680
1480
互相告别。
06:26
And then our relationship关系 stopped停止.
106
374320
1840
之后我们的关系就结束了。
06:28
And now, it completely全然 changed
how I see the public上市.
107
376560
4400
至此,我对公众的看法完全改变了。
06:33
And one very important重要 piece
I made制作 in those days
108
381280
3136
在那段时间里,
我完成的最重要的一个表演
06:36
was "Balkan巴尔干 Baroque巴洛克."
109
384440
1976
叫做“巴尔干巴洛克”。
06:38
And this was the time of the Balkan巴尔干 Wars战争,
110
386440
2696
那是在巴尔干战争期间,
06:41
and I wanted to create创建
some very strong强大, charismatic魅力 image图片,
111
389160
3536
我想创造一些激烈的、
富有感染力的画面,
06:44
something that could serve服务
for any war战争 at any time,
112
392720
3296
可以用来表现发生在
任何时间的任何战争,
06:48
because the Balkan巴尔干 Wars战争 are now finished,
but there's always some war战争, somewhere某处.
113
396040
4016
因为尽管巴尔干战争已经结束了,
但战争行为本身不会消失。
06:52
So here I am washing洗涤
114
400080
1976
这是我在清洗
06:54
two and a half thousand
dead, big, bloody血腥 cow bones骨头.
115
402080
3776
2500根巨大的、血迹斑斑的牛骨。
06:57
You can't wash the blood血液,
you never can wash shame耻辱 off the wars战争.
116
405880
3536
你无法清洗掉血迹,
就如同你无法清洗战争的耻辱。
07:01
So I'm washing洗涤 this six hours小时, six days,
and wars战争 are coming未来 off these bones骨头,
117
409440
4576
我清洗了6天,每天6小时,
战争的印记开始从骨头上消失,
07:06
and becoming变得 possible可能 --
an unbearable不堪忍受 smell.
118
414040
3240
变得可以接受——
那气味简直无法忍受。
07:09
But then something stays入住 in the memory记忆.
119
417640
2856
但是会让你留下难以磨灭的印象。
07:12
I want to show显示 you the one
who really changed my life,
120
420520
2736
我想向大家介绍
一个真正改变了我人生的表演,
07:15
and this was the performance性能 in MoMa现代艺术博物馆,
which哪一个 I just recently最近 made制作.
121
423280
4136
这是我在现代艺术博物馆(NoMa)的
一个表演,最近才完成。
07:19
This performance性能 --
when I said to the curator馆长,
122
427440
3336
这个表演——
当时我对馆长说,
07:22
"I'm just going to sit at the chair椅子,
123
430800
1976
“我要坐在那把椅子上,
07:24
and there will be
an empty chair椅子 at the front面前,
124
432800
2536
对面是另一把椅子,
07:27
and anybody任何人 from the public上市
can come and sit as long as they want."
125
435360
3496
任何人都可以坐在上面,
想坐多久坐多久。”
07:30
The curator馆长 said to me,
126
438880
1216
馆长对我说,
07:32
"That's ridiculous荒谬, you know,
this is New York纽约,
127
440120
2656
“这太搞笑了,这里可是纽约,
07:34
this chair椅子 will be empty,
128
442800
1216
这椅子不会有人坐的,
07:36
nobody没有人 has time to sit in front面前 of you."
129
444040
1905
因为大家都忙得要死。”
07:37
(Laughter笑声)
130
445969
1167
(笑声)
07:39
But I sit for three months个月.
131
447160
1896
但我坐了三个月。
07:41
And I sit everyday每天, eight hours小时 --
132
449080
1936
每天八小时——
07:43
the opening开盘 of the museum博物馆 --
133
451040
1376
跟博物馆营业时间一致——
07:44
and 10 hours小时 on Friday星期五
when the museum博物馆 is open打开 10 hours小时,
134
452440
2896
周五博物馆开门十小时,
我就坐十小时,
07:47
and I never move移动.
135
455360
1174
而且我一动不动。
07:48
And I removed去除 the table
and I'm still sitting坐在,
136
456558
2858
后来我把桌子也挪走了,继续坐着,
07:51
and this changed everything.
137
459440
2120
这改变了一切。
07:53
This performance性能,
maybe 10 or 15 years年份 ago --
138
461960
2336
这个表演,如果放在10或15年前——
07:56
nothing would have happened发生.
139
464320
1416
不会有任何影响。
07:57
But the need of people to actually其实
experience经验 something different不同,
140
465760
4896
但如今人们都想体验点特别的东西,
08:02
the public上市 was not anymore the group --
141
470680
2096
而公众不再是一个群体——
08:04
relation关系 was one to one.
142
472800
2000
而是(与我)变成了一对一的关系。
08:07
I was watching观看 these people,
they would come and sit in front面前 of me,
143
475160
3736
我一直在观察这些人,
这些愿意坐在我面前的人,
08:10
but they would have to wait
for hours小时 and hours小时 and hours小时
144
478920
2696
他们往往要等待数小时,
才能排上队,
08:13
to get to this position位置,
145
481640
1158
最终坐下。
08:14
and finally最后, they sit.
146
482823
1553
08:16
And what happened发生?
147
484400
1560
之后发生了什么呢?
08:18
They are observed观察到的 by the other people,
148
486440
2136
他们会被其他人观察,
08:20
they're photographed拍照,
they're filmed拍摄 by the camera相机,
149
488600
2576
被相机拍,被摄影机拍,
08:23
they're observed观察到的 by me
150
491200
1376
我也在观察他们,
08:24
and they have nowhere无处 to escape逃逸
except in themselves他们自己.
151
492600
3160
他们无处可逃,
只能逃进自己的内心。
08:28
And that makes品牌 a difference区别.
152
496240
1576
而这就是我要的效果。
08:29
There was so much pain疼痛 and loneliness孤单,
153
497840
1816
当你注视着一个人的眼睛的时候,
08:31
there's so much incredible难以置信 things
when you look in somebody else's别人的 eyes眼睛,
154
499680
4096
会看到那么多的痛苦和孤独,
还有那么多美妙的东西,
08:35
because in the gaze凝视
with that total stranger陌生人,
155
503800
2976
因为在这凝视的过程中,
尽管对方是个陌生人,
08:38
that you never even say one word --
everything happened发生.
156
506800
3000
你一言不发,却胜过千言万语。
08:42
And I understood了解 when I stood站在 up
from that chair椅子 after three months个月,
157
510200
4976
我明白,三个月后当我
从那把椅子上站起身来后,
08:47
I am not the same相同 anymore.
158
515200
1575
我已不再是原来的我。
08:48
And I understood了解
that I have a very strong强大 mission任务,
159
516799
2777
我明白,我有一个使命,
08:51
that I have to communicate通信 this experience经验
160
519600
3256
我要把这种体验
08:54
to everybody每个人.
161
522880
1255
传达给每一个人。
08:56
And this is how, for me, was born天生 the idea理念
162
524159
2817
这就是我想要成立一个
08:59
to have an institute研究所
of immaterial无形 performing执行 arts艺术.
163
527000
4000
“无形表演艺术”机构的初衷。
09:03
Because thinking思维 about immateriality无形,
164
531320
2896
思考一下什么是无形,
09:06
performance性能 is time-based基于时间的 art艺术.
165
534240
1456
表演是基于时间的艺术。
09:07
It's not like a painting绘画.
166
535720
1336
不像绘画。
09:09
You have the painting绘画 on the wall,
the next下一个 day it's there.
167
537080
2776
你在墙上作一幅画,
第二天它还在那里。
09:11
Performance性能, if you are missing失踪 it,
you only have the memory记忆,
168
539880
4696
而表演,如果你开始怀念,
你就只能凭记忆,
09:16
or the story故事 of somebody else其他 telling告诉 you,
169
544600
2336
或者凭别人的描述来回味,
09:18
but you actually其实 missed错过 the whole整个 thing.
170
546960
1936
但实际上你怀念的是整场表演。
09:20
So you have to be there.
171
548920
1216
因此你必须到现场观看。
09:22
And in my point,
if you talk about immaterial无形 art艺术,
172
550160
2896
在我看来,当我们讨论无形艺术时,
09:25
music音乐 is the highest最高 --
absolutely绝对 highest最高 art艺术 of all,
173
553080
3376
音乐是其中最高级的形式,
09:28
because it's the most immaterial无形.
174
556480
1776
因为音乐是最无形的。
09:30
And then after this is performance性能,
and then everything else其他.
175
558280
2858
然后是表演,再然后是其他形式。
09:33
That's my subjective主观 way.
176
561162
1534
这是我的个人看法。
09:34
This institute研究所 is going to happen发生
in Hudson哈德森, upstate北部 New York纽约,
177
562720
3896
这个机构将设在纽约州北部的哈德森,
09:38
and we are trying to build建立
with Rem雷姆 Koolhaas库哈斯, an idea理念.
178
566640
3000
我们计划同雷姆·库哈斯(译注:荷兰建筑师)
合作来建造,
09:41
And it's very simple简单.
179
569960
1256
想法很简单。
09:43
If you want to get experience经验,
you have to give me your time.
180
571240
4656
如果你想过来体验的话,
你必须把你的时间交给我。
09:47
You have to sign标志 the contract合同
before you enter输入 the building建造,
181
575920
3096
在开始体验前你需要签一份合同,
09:51
that you will spend there
a full充分 six hours小时,
182
579040
2856
保证你将在里面待满6小时,
09:53
you have to give me your word of honor荣誉.
183
581920
2656
你必须遵守自己的诺言。
09:56
It's something so old-fashioned过时,
184
584600
1896
这是一种老派的做法,
09:58
but if you don't respect尊重 your own拥有
word of honor荣誉 and you leave离开 before --
185
586520
3336
但如果你不遵守诺言,
提前离开了——
10:01
that's not my problem问题.
186
589880
1216
那我也拿你没辙。
10:03
But it's six hours小时, the experience经验.
187
591120
2496
整个体验长达6小时。
10:05
And then after you finish,
you get a certificate证书 of accomplishment成就,
188
593640
3143
当你完成之后,
你会得到一份证书,
10:08
so get home and frame it if you want.
189
596807
2049
可以拿回家装框挂起来。
10:10
(Laughter笑声)
190
598880
1016
(笑声)
10:11
This is orientation方向 hall大厅.
191
599920
1336
这是接待大厅。
10:13
The public上市 comes in, and the first thing
you have to do is dress连衣裙 in lab实验室 coats大衣.
192
601280
4496
公众走进来,第一件事是
换上实验室的白大褂。
10:17
It's this importance重要性
193
605800
1216
这一步很重要,
10:19
of stepping步进 from being存在
just a viewer观众 into experimenter实验者.
194
607040
4216
表示你从观众变成了实验者。
10:23
And then you go to the lockers储物柜
195
611280
2416
然后会来到储物柜前,
10:25
and you put your watch,
your iPhone苹果手机, your iPodiPod的, your computer电脑
196
613720
3296
把你的手表、iPhone、iPod、电脑等
10:29
and everything digital数字, electronic电子.
197
617040
2296
一切电子产品、数码产品都放进去。
10:31
And you are getting得到 free自由 time
for yourself你自己 for the first time.
198
619360
4336
第一次,你拥有了完全自由的时间。
10:35
Because there is nothing
wrong错误 with technology技术,
199
623720
3376
科技本身并没有错,
10:39
our approach途径 to technology技术 is wrong错误.
200
627120
2336
而是我们使用科技的方法错了。
10:41
We are losing失去 the time
we have for ourselves我们自己.
201
629480
2696
我们失去了属于自己的时间。
10:44
This is an institute研究所
to actually其实 give you back this time.
202
632200
3296
而我们的机构则会将这些时间还给你。
10:47
So what you do here,
203
635520
1256
你在这里能做的,
10:48
first you start开始 slow walking步行,
you start开始 slowing减缓 down.
204
636800
3096
第一件事就是慢走,放慢速度。
10:51
You're going back to simplicity简单.
205
639920
1936
回归简单。
10:53
After slow walking步行, you're going
to learn学习 how to drink water --
206
641880
3616
慢走过后,你将学会如何喝水——
10:57
very simple简单, drinking water
for maybe half an hour小时.
207
645520
3640
非常简单,就是花半小时来喝水。
11:01
After this, you're going to
the magnet磁铁 chamber,
208
649640
2296
然后,你将进入磁力室,
11:03
where you're going to create创建
some magnet磁铁 streams on your body身体.
209
651960
3896
在那里,你的身体里
将形成一些磁力流。
11:07
Then after this,
you go to crystal水晶 chamber.
210
655880
2456
之后是水晶室。
11:10
After crystal水晶 chamber,
you go to eye-gazing眼睛凝视 chamber,
211
658360
2776
水晶室之后,你将进入凝视室,
11:13
after eye-gazing眼睛凝视 chamber, you go to
a chamber where you are lying说谎 down.
212
661160
4096
凝视室之后,你将进入
一个可以躺下的房间。
11:17
So it's the three basic基本 positions位置
of the human人的 body身体,
213
665280
2456
人体有三种基本姿势,
11:19
sitting坐在, standing常设 and lying说谎.
214
667760
1336
坐、站和躺。
11:21
And slow walking步行.
215
669120
1536
还有慢走。
11:22
And there is a sound声音 chamber.
216
670680
1816
还有一间声音室。
11:24
And then after you've seen看到 all of this,
217
672520
2336
经历完所有这一切,
你的心理和生理都准备就绪,
11:26
and prepared准备 yourself你自己
mentally精神上 and physically物理,
218
674880
2143
你就可以开始体验
一些需要较长时间的东西了,
11:29
then you are ready准备 to see
something with a long duration持续时间,
219
677047
2667
11:31
like in immaterial无形 art艺术.
220
679738
2358
比如无形艺术。
11:34
It can be music音乐, it can be opera歌剧,
it can be a theater剧院 piece,
221
682120
3856
可以是音乐、歌剧或者一段戏剧。
11:38
it can be film电影, it can be video视频 dance舞蹈.
222
686000
2896
也可以是电影,视频或者舞蹈。
11:40
You go to the long duration持续时间 chairs椅子
because now you are comfortable自在.
223
688920
3816
你坐上“长时间体验”专用椅,
你现在处于十分舒服的状态。
11:44
In the long duration持续时间 chairs椅子,
224
692760
1376
坐在这把椅子上,
11:46
you're transported to the big place地点
where you're going to see the work.
225
694160
3696
你将被送到欣赏上述表演的地方
那里非常大。
11:49
And if you fall秋季 asleep睡着,
226
697880
1216
如果你睡着了,
11:51
which哪一个 is very possible可能
because it's been a long day,
227
699120
2536
这很有可能,因为这一天很累人,
11:53
you're going to be
transported to the parking停車處 lot.
228
701680
2456
你会被送到“停人场”。
11:56
(Laughter笑声)
229
704160
1616
(笑声)
11:57
And you know, sleeping睡眠 is very important重要.
230
705800
2816
睡觉非常重要,大家都懂。
12:00
In sleeping睡眠, you're still receiving接收 art艺术.
231
708640
2776
即使在睡眠状态下,
你依然在感受艺术。
12:03
So in the parking停車處 lot you stay
for a certain某些 amount of time,
232
711440
3696
于是你会在“停人场”待一段时间,
12:07
and then after this
you just, you know, go back,
233
715160
3256
之后你继续进行体验,
12:10
you see more of the things you like to see
234
718440
2336
看更多自己感兴趣的东西,
12:12
or go home with your certificate证书.
235
720800
2040
或者拿着自己的证书回家。
12:15
So this institute研究所 right now is virtual虚拟.
236
723280
3416
现在这个机构还只是一个设想。
12:18
Right now, I am just
making制造 my institute研究所 in Brazil巴西,
237
726720
2856
目前,我正在巴西着手建第一家,
12:21
then it's going to be in Australia澳大利亚,
238
729600
1667
之后会到澳大利亚,
12:23
then it's coming未来 here,
to Canada加拿大 and everywhere到处.
239
731291
3125
然后到这里,到加拿大,
再推广到全世界。
12:26
And this is to experience经验
a kind of simple简单 method方法,
240
734440
3496
我想提供一种简单的方法,
12:29
how you go back to simplicity简单
in your own拥有 life.
241
737960
2896
让大家体验一下
回归简单生活的感觉。
12:32
Counting数数 rice白饭 will be another另一个 thing.
242
740880
1960
数米粒儿也是个好方法。
12:35
(Laughter笑声)
243
743760
1896
(笑声)
知道吗,只要你能耐下性子数米粒儿,
你就能创造人生。
12:37
You know, if you count计数 rice白饭
you can make life, too.
244
745680
2496
12:40
How to count计数 rice白饭 for six hours小时?
245
748200
2176
你要怎样坚持数6小时的米呢?
12:42
It's incredibly令人难以置信 important重要.
246
750400
1696
这点十分重要。
12:44
You know, you go through通过 this whole整个 range范围
of being存在 bored无聊, being存在 angry愤怒,
247
752120
4136
你要经历一系列过程,
无聊、生气,
12:48
being存在 completely全然 frustrated受挫, not finishing精加工
the amount of rice白饭 you're counting数数.
248
756280
4456
因为没数完而心烦意乱。
12:52
And then this unbelievable难以置信的
amount of peace和平 you get
249
760760
2776
之后你会收获意想不到的平静,
12:55
when satisfying满意的 work is finished --
250
763560
2456
这就是完成一项工作的满足感——
就像数清楚沙漠中的沙粒。
12:58
or counting数数 sand in the desert沙漠.
251
766040
1800
13:00
Or having the sound-isolated声音隔离 situation情况 --
252
768600
3496
或者体验一下无声的世界——
13:04
that you have headphones头戴耳机,
that you don't hear anything,
253
772120
2576
你戴着耳机,听不见任何声音,
13:06
and you're just there
together一起 without sound声音,
254
774720
2696
你们聚在一起,悄无声息,
13:09
with the people experiencing经历 silence安静,
just the simple简单 silence安静.
255
777440
4856
大家都在体验安静,纯粹的安静。
13:14
We are always doing things
we like in our life.
256
782320
4216
我们总是选择喜欢的事情来做。
13:18
And this is why you're not changing改变.
257
786560
2256
因此我们不会改变。
你们一生要做很多事情——
13:20
You do things in life --
258
788840
1456
13:22
it's just nothing happens发生
if you always do things the same相同 way.
259
790320
3400
如果总是以相同的方式做事,
生活会波澜不惊。
13:26
But my method方法 is to do things
I'm afraid害怕 of, the things I fear恐惧,
260
794200
5096
我的方法是去尝试
我害怕的事情,不敢做的事情,
13:31
the things I don't know,
261
799320
1496
我不明白的事情,
13:32
to go to territory领土
that nobody's没有人是 ever been.
262
800840
2856
去探索未知的领域。
13:35
And then also to include包括 the failure失败.
263
803720
2856
也包括尝试失败。
13:38
I think failure失败 is important重要
264
806600
1736
失败非常重要,
13:40
because if you go,
if you experiment实验, you can fail失败.
265
808360
3736
因为只有去尝试,才有可能失败。
13:44
If you don't go into that area
and you don't fail失败,
266
812120
2656
如果你从不尝试,就永远不会失败,
13:46
you are actually其实 repeating重复 yourself你自己
over and over again.
267
814800
3000
那你只是在不停重复自己。
13:50
And I think that human人的 beings众生
right now need a change更改,
268
818320
3816
我觉得人类现在需要改变,
13:54
and the only change更改 to be made制作
is a personal个人 level水平 change更改.
269
822160
4096
而这需要每个人从自身做起。
13:58
You have to make the change更改 on yourself你自己.
270
826280
2576
人人都需要改变自己。
14:00
Because the only way
to change更改 consciousness意识
271
828880
2496
因为改变自我意识,
14:03
and to change更改 the world世界 around us,
272
831400
2016
改变周遭世界的唯一方法,
14:05
is to start开始 with yourself你自己.
273
833440
1696
就是从改变自己做起。
14:07
It's so easy简单 to criticize批评
how it's different不同,
274
835160
2496
抱怨某件事太难做,这很简单,
14:09
the things in the world世界
and they're not right,
275
837680
2143
世上有太多不公平,
14:11
and the governments政府 are corrupted损坏
and there's hunger饥饿 in the world世界
276
839847
3249
政府腐败,有人食不果腹,
14:15
and there's wars战争 -- the killing谋杀.
277
843120
3456
战争还在发生——充满杀戮。
14:18
But what we do on the personal个人 level水平 --
278
846600
2576
但从个人角度出发,
我们能做些什么——
14:21
what is our contribution贡献
to this whole整个 thing?
279
849200
2960
我们能做点什么来改变这一切?
14:24
Can you turn to your neighbor邻居,
the one you don't know,
280
852960
3096
请大家转向自己的邻座,
找一位你不认识的,
14:28
and look at them for two full充分 minutes分钟
in their eyes眼睛, right now?
281

ABOUT THE SPEAKER
Marina Abramović - Performance artist
In her performances she’s been cut, burned, and nearly shot -- but Marina Abramović's boldest work yet is a gargantuan institute dedicated to transformation through art.

Why you should listen

Marina Abramović burst onto the '70s art scene with cathartic performances that tested the limits of spectator participation and personal safety. The Artist Is Present, a Museum of Modern Art performance in which thousands of viewers queued for hours to face Abramović across a table, moved many to tears, and launched Abramović into mainstream celebrity.

Her latest work-in-progress is the MAI (Marina Abramović Institute), a sprawling upstate New York complex devoted to the preservation of durational performance pieces, arts education and the pursuit of heightened consciousness through Abramović’s artistic practices.
