Serbian conceptual artist Marina Abramovic poses in a new artwork embedded with crystals, which Abramovic believes contain energy, ahead of the opening of her first exhibition in China, "Transforming Energy", in Shanghai on October 6, 2024. Pioneering performance artist Marina Abramovic famously once walked thousands of kilometres along the Great Wall of China, a conceptual piece that became the stuff of art world legend. Now, decades later, she is finally holding her first exhibition in the country.
