Marina Abramović's latest project is a union of contemporary art and Rome's millennia-old history. "Confession, 2026", a work that encourages the public to confront their own memories and emotions, will be displayed at the Arch of Janus, a 4th-century monument, from November 19, 2026, to May 19, 2027. The initiative is being sponsored by the Fondazione Alda Fendi - Esperimenti, in collaboration with Factum Arte and the Special Superintendence for Archeology, Fine Arts, and Landscape of Rome. The centerpiece of the project is a life-size gold-plated bronze sculpture of a donkey with a seat in front of it. Visitors will be able to sit where the artist would sit and symbolically entrust the animal with their painful memories. This is Abramović's first bronze sculpture, resurrecting a 2010 work where she described her childhood wounds to a living donkey. The installation will include "The Road to Confession", a video work directed by Nabil Elderkin and filmed before dawn on the streets of Rome, showing the artist and Paltò the donkey. The film connects the city's past and present, concluding beneath the Arch of Janus. Born in Belgrade in the early 1970s, Abramović has helped reinvent performance art, bringing it to major museums and cultural institutions throughout the world, including the United States, Europe, and Asia. In 1997, she was awarded the Golden Lion at the Venice Biennale for "Balkan Baroque". In Rome, her new work explores the connection between art, memory, and participation, fostering a conversation between modern languages and ancient history.
