CNN —On Friday, Marina Abramović staged a collective seven minute silence at the UK’s biggest music festival.
In case her messaging was unclear, the Serbian artist wore a white sculptural column dress that, when her arms were outstretched, opened out into a peace sign.
Standing tall, her shoulders sloped to create the top of the peace sign — her hands lost in the round of the giant white sleeves.
The dress, designed by her friend and former Burberry creative director Riccardo Tisci, was inspired by the Japanese kimono.
