Abstract
What can clinic do? What can art do? What is the power present in these areas? At what point art and clinic find a mainstream, that is, at what point do they commune? This essay has those questions as a direction and seeks to answer them based on a focus on a transdisciplinary approach to clinic. Transdisciplinarity understood as a contagion between different disciplines, as an experimentation on the interferences one domain can perform upon the other. The performance “The artist is present” of Marina Abramovic is taken in this article as an expression channel through the art of the analyst and patient encounter. A life-changing encounter. The work of this Serbian artist, worried about what goes on between the artist and the public allow us to problematize what goes on between the analyst and the patient, therefore developing the concept of the Presence, one affection share that can befall the encounter with the other.
