Together with the Abramovich openly against the appropriation of foreign ideas "without specifying the source, and also argues that" reperformer "(or whoever is directing the action) should wherever possible work with the original work.
Recently, the artist won over in the court of 75,000 Euros from a French film director Pierre Kulibefa (Pierre Coulibeuf), who in his films "Star" and "Balkan Baroque" (both - 1998) "crippled by the sense of" it works. Abramovich, the game itself in these movies (which was the basis for her work "Biography", 1992), but Kulibef, according to her, not listening to instructions, and showed her performances in films is not so, as she wanted. The artist has sued him in 1999, but then failed to win her, since her contract for transfer of all rights to the footage Kulibefu and his film company Regards Productions.
Grounds for a new action appeared after Kulibef "atonement for the territory" Abramovich - has made of "Balkan Baroque", a video installation, and sold it to one Portuguese Museum. A French court agreed that the display of the work without the knowledge of the artist, as well as the assignment of names to its work (Abramovich made a performance "Balkan Baroque" in 1997) is a violation of its copyright.
