3. Marina Abramović

Marina Abramović has spent over five decades pushing art and audiences to their limits, turning her own body into the ultimate fabric. Whether calmly enduring violence in Rhythm 0, scrubbing bloody bones in Balkan Baroque, or blurring the line between ritual and performance, she has never shied away from discomfort or controversy. Loved, hated, and infinitely debated, Abramović forces us to confront our own boundaries, fears, and the very meaning of art itself.
