World-renowned performance artist Marina Abramović launched her first ever NFT this week, called “The Hero” (2001), one of her most personal performance pieces. 

In the original piece, Abramović sat astride a white steed, bearing a white flag waving gracefully in the wind, set against an expansive landscape of trees and sky in Spain. The piece, released as a film, was a tribute to her then-recently deceased father, who was a Yugoslavian war hero during World War II. Abramović, who was born in Belgrade, Serbia in 1946, is now revisiting that work in collaboration with The Cultural Institute of Radical Contemporary Art (CIRCA) in London. The film started being on screens since June 13 until August 13 on a network of screens ranging from Piccadilly Lights in London and Times Square in New York, all the way to COEX K-Pop Square in Seoul, South Korea. If you happen to be in one of those cities, do not miss the chance to see this amazing artwork
