In one of Abramovic's most daring works, she laid out a table of 72 objects, among which figured scissors and a loaded gun, and invited spectators to use them on her 'as desired'.

The boundary-pushing performance artist Marina Abramovic returned to Belgrade Saturday to inaugurate the final exhibition of a major touring retrospective, marking her first professional homecoming in nearly 50 years.

The retrospective, titled"The Cleaner", exhibits more than 100 works from Abramovic's past 50 years of provocative performances, many of which saw the artist put her own body on the line. "I learned three things here: from my grandmother I learned spirituality..from my father I learned bravery, and from my mother willpower and discipline," she said.

Another piece from 1997, titled Balkan Baroque, saw her sit and clean 1,000 beef bones while singing folk songs from her youth, earning her a Golden Lion award at the Venice Biennale.
