Marina Abramovic - Staring Contest



http://www.juxtapoz.com/Features/viewer-portraits-during-marina-abramovics-the-artist-is-present


This is a picture taken from Juxtapoz discussing Marina Abramovic's performance at the MoMA in New York City. There's something so intimate about this, with a person you've never met before which is what makes it so challenging. My twin nephews just turned one and they just stare into my eyes, study my face, I really think Marina Abramovic is on to something here. I love seeing a new face that I've never seen before, it can sometimes be comforting, and sometimes humbling. 


Perhaps that's why portraits will always be intriguing and never out of style.
