The movie captures AbramoviД‡ enraptured by the kitchen knife surgery on a patientвЂ™s eye-no anesthetic, no gloves on the healer-which evokes the blade-on-the-eye scene of Mexican Luis BuГ±uelвЂ™s 1928 surrealist film, вЂњUn Chien Andalou.вЂќ John of GodвЂ™s spiritual healing center attracts thousands weekly from all over the planet. He is based in Abadiania, a city on the map only because of his spiritual prowess. Known internationally as John of God, the former bricklayer had an enlightenment that boosted him into psychic-surgeon superstardom. One of the highlights is the visit to medium JoГЈo de Deus. вЂњIt was the worst thing in my life,вЂќ she saysВ of the psychological and physical distress the day before while recovering from the violent purge in a silvery waterfall.

The project culminated in March 2015 in her largest retrospective in the Southern Hemisphere, вЂњTerra Comunal (Comunal Land) Marina AbramoviД‡ + MAI,вЂќ bringing crowds to SГЈo PauloвЂ™s Sesc Pompeia. Entirely made in Brazil, the documentary unveils a multitude of mesmerizing rituals and religious syncretism led by the artist renowned for breaking physical and mental barriers. It discloses the artistвЂ™s inner search among crystals and indigenous rituals from ayahuasca trips to voodoo ceremonies in a 6,000-kilometer journey in six states. The film premiered in the US in March at AustinвЂ™s South by Southwest festival (SXSW) with a release in Brazilian movie theaters scheduled for May 19.
