- A slide show of the performance "Rhythm 0" by Serbian artist Marina Abramovic in which she stands impassively and put herself completely in the hands of her audience.
- This multi-channel video installation, consisting of seven short video works presented on vertical wall-mounted display panels, is based on Marina Abramovic's research into Balkan folk culture and its use of the erotic.
- A 3-part variation in the Balkan Erotic Epic Series presenting a double mirror projection of Balkan Erotic Epic: Marina Abramovic Massaging Breasts (2005) on each side of the central video workpiece Balkan Erotic Epic: Women Massaging Breasts (2005) shown on vertical wall-mounted display panels.
- Balkan Erotic Epic explores the sexual aspects of Serbian folklore. Ancient myths that have trickled into everyday household remedies or explanations are juxtaposed with the joys of the female and male sexual forms from which all human life originates. Functioning as both sexual liberation and reinvented modern myth, Balkan Erotic Epic is a display of the need for a cultural change in viewpoint around sex.
- 7- channel video installation (color, no sound), first performed at the MoMA, New York, which explores the complex relationship between artist and audience, as the performer is pushing past perceived limits of the body and mind.
- Presents a folkloric image of the artist riding a white horse in the countryside while carrying a large white flag. Neither she nor the horse move as we hear a voice-over singing and humming a Serbian song dedicated to the conquered hero.
- Serbian performance artist Marina Abramovic is cutting a five-pointed star around her belly button with a razor blade.
- The multi-channel installation is based on Marina Abramovic's research into Balkan folk culture and its use of the erotic. Obscene objects and male and female genitals have a very important function in the fertility.
- Approaching each other from different sides of the space, Ulay and Marina Abramovic collide with each other in the middle of the room and then disappear from view for a few seconds before the process starts to repeat itself.
- A personal journey through various consciousness-expanding moments experienced by artist Frederique Pisuisse. The confessional diary gives an insight into traumatic drug trips, panic attacks and out-of-body experiences. The viewer is navigated by a poetry reading, whilst roaming through a ghost space personifying the dark corners of the human mind.
- A five-pointed star made of wood is set on fire. The artist walks around it and throws hair clumps and toe-nail clippings into the fire at each point of the star (8 mm film transferred to digital video in 2011, no sound, b/w).
- The artist is lying outdoors on a metal bunk bed as a storm seems to approach. Metaphorically, her body holds an electrical source and becomes a transmitter and conductor of energy as the current flows through it.
- A video of the performance Relation in Movement: The Van, 1975-1980 (1980) where Marina Abramovic and Ulay drive a Citroën type H van round and round in a circle inside a city square in Paris.
- A naked woman sits on a raised bicycle seat in the middle of an empty room as a projected light on her is forecasting her shadow around. It's a work about luminosity and the human being's transcendental quality, the body being just a tool.
- A feast for the eye, this essay on trompe-l'oeil, deception, privileges, seductions and false freedoms. The façade of public life hides the private lives of individuals and hidden agendas. We develop new skills to test our happiness in the non-stop flow of images and information. How to live in the post-privacy age?
- A reel of TV interviews conducted by Marina Abramovic in the 1980s and the 1990s on the topic of performance.
- Shows the artist whipping herself with a lash until her back turns red and her body starts to tremble.
- A 9-channel video installation consisting of nine 30-minute "dragon head" self-portraits, made through the years following the artist's separation from German-born performance artist Ulay.
- A 3-channel video installation showing three shirtless male dancers (from Asian, European, and African origins) aggressively dancing to tribal drums and music, with the artist's point of view exclusively focused on their pelvis.
- What does an animal see when she looks back at us? Three animals and a woman are in a closed situation in which they have to deal with each other. The story is told from the individual Point of View of each character, perhaps even more from the Point of Feel of all animals. We do not just look through the eyes of the characters; instead the viewer moves through multiple possible mental landscapes to experience different perceptions when species meet. The camera emphasizes this idea of the animal gaze by filming them intently. As the voiceover narration suggests, the film is premised on the idea that animals observe and judge us. Based on complex thoughts about our relationship with the animal kingdom, the film tackles this huge subject from an oblique angle.
- A five-channel video installation containing five video works by Serbian artist Marina Abramovic: 'Dissolution', 'Insomnia', 'Luminosity', 'Dozing Consciousness' and 'Lost Souls'.
- Ulay (German-born artist Frank Uwe Laysiepen) and Serbian artist Marina Abramovic both balance each other on opposite sides of a drawn bow and arrow, with the arrow pointed at Abramovic's heart.
- Shows the artist, who slowly, very slowly, covers her eyes with her hands. Her action is actually so slow that, in the beginning, the viewer might even notice her hands moving.
- A poetic meditation honouring the friendship and creative working relationships between Madelon Hooykaas, Li Yuan-chia and Delia Derbyshire. Inspired by the Japanese concept TEN-CHI-JIN, meaning sky-earth-person, it draws from images, text and sound by the three artists and footage from the Hubble Telescope.
- This film is the artist's response to a spoken message from a man named Mukalap, recorded around 1936 in South Africa.
- Serbian artist Marina Abramovic is devouring a large raw onion, while reciting a litany of things she's tired of.
- In a world where billions are spent on state-of-the-art weaponry, the deadliest weapon is still a so-called Improvised Explosive Device, which most people can make from materials found at their homes. An IED maker, a soldier and a philosopher describe their relationship with these objects, which can have almost any shape, form and content.
- Artists Ulay and Marina Abramovic both decide to end their relationship and to mark this with a performance in which they start to walk from different ends of the Chinese Wall in order to meet in the middle and say good-bye to each other.
- Shows the artist's face buried in quartz crystals, accompanied by the sound of heavy breathing. With every breath Abramovic takes, the heap of crystals is moving a little bit, as, extremely slowly, parts of her face are uncovered.
- After retiring, a man wants to return to the Caribbean island where he once lived. Advancing dementia ruins his plans. He moves there but never really arrives.
- Shows the artist dancing to the sound of Arabian tango music in a black dress, casting shadows against a white wall background.
- Daniel Jacoby's latest film is an atmospheric portrait of Christian, a young man from the city who finds himself an outsider in his new home, a poor village called Cocachimba in the jungle of Peru. Fragments from colourful Cubist paintings playfully interrupt the image while the camera shows nature in ever-flowing motion. Sitting on a rock, Christian philosophises about his newfound situation and recalls being visited by a mythical 'devil' in the dark of the night.
- In the filmmakers' words: "Foundland Collective was invited to create an interpretation of My Boyfriend Came Back from the War (1996), the iconic internet artwork by Russian artist Olia Lialina. Foundland takes the narrative content of Lialina's original work as a starting point and extends the idea of an estranged conversation caused by the complexity of conflict. We created a video work comprised of a series of online chats between a mother and her radicalized son, who has left the Western world to join a Jihadi fighting force. Their strained and clumsy conversation is captured across many media platforms over several months. Neither is sure who is listening or who is answering. His seduction into conflict is likely born out of social media and then ironically his mother has no choice but to desperately search YouTube videos to spot her son in the background."
- Animated film about Port number 9830 on the Maasvlakte, Rotterdam. Captured with a homemade camera with a handblown-glass camera eye, its lens filled with seawater. It produces miraculous time-space deformations.
- Serbian artist Marina Abramovic is lying on her back on the floor and screaming until her voice is lost.
- Citroën type H, megaphone, audio and video installation ("Relation in Movement"), amplifier, monitor, small wooden boat, photographs (b/w), text van.
