I’m sorry for the racist comment and had to ask Marina Abramovich

Apart from the famous performances of Marina Abramovich wont to intrigue with the statements and open issues and controversies, however, is…
fact that it is careful in its formulations. For a few days, however, an older wording for the natives of Australia, has created a noise on social media, with older views of Abramovich, expressed in an old travel diary, notes of which will be included in the long-awaited autobiographical book of the “Walk Through Walls”.
The controversial quote, which was removed from what became known from the version – was focused on impressions of Abramovich, when I first came into contact with the Aborigines, around 1979. “They look like dinosaurs. When you first meet them, you have to try very hard. In the eyes of the western look tragic. Their faces don’t look like any other person on earth. Have large trunks, and these, like chopsticks legs”.
As was natural, the extract caused σφοδρότατες reactions on social media and was removed from the book. Many blamed openly Abramovich for racism, and yes, they came in the process to create the hashtag #TheRacistIsPresent (a pun for the performance of Abramovich in 2012 with The title “The Artist Is Present” – “The artist is present”).
“My heart hurts non-stop from the moment that this passage came to light,” notes the communication of the artist, The subject took a scale and from there the Abramovich originally did not give importance, then entered the process to write a whole-hearted apology to indigenous Australia, indicating the old, great love, Ulay, with whom she had experienced with this experience with the “scary”, as you described them, natives. According to the announcement distributed to the Media, the Abramovich bitterly regrets everything that she had then made to the travel diary and for the manner in which the snippet leaked on the internet.
“I tried to live my life with courage and regret for a few things. However, the events of the last week was humiliating. My choice to include it unfinished even my autobiography a manuscript for my passing in 1979 from Western Australia, using such unacceptable language to describe my first impressions of the Aborigines, is one of those few for which I regret.
My heart hurts non-stop from the moment that this passage came to light,” notes the announcement, and continues even more lyrical: “The most painful point of all this is that I managed to hurt the Aboriginal people who trusted me, and that it promoted stereotypes of hatred against people, to whom I owe so much and I respect you sincerely. I know that the words that I used, is equivalent to treason, and I’m really sorry. Underestimating the integrity, the beauty and the struggles of aboriginal Australians, with whom we lived together with Ulay from 1980 to 1081, it looks like an insult to people that I loved in particular and inspired me”.
