MARINA ABRAMOVIĆ COVERS NOWNESS PAPER ISSUE 28

Marina Abramović is the cover star of NOWNESS Paper Issue 28, photographed by Mengyu in her apartment in New York's West Village. The Serbian performance art pioneer reflects on life, love and fear for the issue, which NOWNESS created with nowness.china.

In the material released with the cover, Abramović says: "Love is everything to me. I could not do my work if I don’t love what I’m doing. When you really deeply love, you’re immediately afraid that you’re going to lose it. So this goes together."

Mengyu Photographed Her at Home in the West Village

Photographer Mengyu shot Abramović at home for the cover story. The apartment is in New York's West Village, and the interview was conducted by Delaney Chieyen Holton, with Zenglin as feature editor.

More Than a Dozen Credits Stand Behind One Cover

NOWNESS lists more than a dozen contributors on the package, which pairs the Paper issue with a Private View film of the artist. Lawrence Xiao is executive producer and Qian Tang is among the producers. Madison Gu worked as styling assistant, Yiran Chen recorded sound and Yizheng Li handled graphic design.

Spurs Gallery is thanked in the credits. The full Private View film with Abramović is on NOWNESS.
