Once she used all the knives, she listened to the recording and attempted to replicate her movements, including the mistakes and sounds. For “Rhythm 10,” she played a dangerous game with 20 sharp knives, rapidly jabbing a knife between her splayed fingers, replacing each one when she cut herself and recording the sounds she made. In her earliest performances, in 19, she used knives, fire, drugs, an industrial fan, and multiple random objects to test both her own limits and the limits of participants in the audience. Right from the start, Abramovic made it clear that she wasn’t timid or squeamish.

Since the 1970s she has explored the limits of human passivity and endurance, doing things or having things done to her body that no ordinary person would consider. Marina Abramovic is one of those artists. Performance artists, whose medium is mainly their own bodies, have been known to push the envelope even further-to the point of physical pain or damage, or even unconsciousness. Whether it’s punching paint onto the canvas with boxing gloves, preserving animals in formaldehyde and suspending them in glass tanks, using humble needlecraft to represent birth in all its glory, or making elaborate collages out of drugs and other stuff, there’s no limit to the ways artists manipulate materials in service to their creative vision. That is why all of our trips are flightless in destination, fully carbon offset - and we have ambitious plans to be net zero in the very near future.Artists have been known to stretch the limits of artmaking to limits unimaginable by most of us. We are committed to go as far as possible in curating our trips with care for the planet. We know that many of you worry about the environmental impact of travel and are looking for ways of expanding horizons in ways that do minimal harm – and may even bring benefits. Our Sailing Trips invite you to spend a week experiencing the best of the sea and land in the Caribbean and the Mediterranean. Our Mini Trips are small and mighty - they squeeze all the excitement and authenticity of our longer Epic Trips into a manageable 3-5 day window. Epic Trips are deeply immersive 8 to 16 days itineraries, that combine authentic local experiences, exciting activities and enough down time to really relax and soak it all in. Our Trips are suitable for both solo travellers and friends who want to explore the world together. That is why we have intensively curated a collection of premium small-group trips as an invitation to meet and connect with new, like-minded people for once-in-a-lifetime experiences in three categories: Epic Trips, Mini Trips and Sailing Trips. Increasingly we believe the world needs more meaningful, real-life connections between curious travellers keen to explore the world in a more responsible way. We are proud that, for more than a decade, millions like you have trusted our award-winning recommendations by people who deeply understand what makes certain places and communities so special. Culture Trip launched in 2011 with a simple yet passionate mission: to inspire people to go beyond their boundaries and experience what makes a place, its people and its culture special and meaningful - and this is still in our DNA today. Since you are here, we would like to share our vision for the future of travel – and the direction Culture Trip is moving in. ![]()
