The photograph Artist Portrait with a Candle (C) (2013) forms part of one of her most significant research projects, Places of Power. In 2013, the artist traveled through several Brazilian states, immersing herself in the mysteries of religious syncretism and spirituality, as well as in the powers attributed to crystals, rituals and healing sites. This journey generated a wide range of works – performances, videos, sculptures and photographs. The image records a moment in which Abramović performs with her finger held near a candle flame, in a gesture of physical and mental endurance.Marina Abramović é reconhecidamente um dos maiores ícones da arte contemporânea no mundo e pioneira da arte performática, cativando o público ao ultrapassar os limites do seu corpo e mente.A fotografia "Artist Portrait with a Candle (C)" (2013) faz parte de uma das pesquisas mais importantes de Marina Abramovic, denominada "Places of Power".
