In one photo, Abramovic holds a bloody, skinned goat head—a symbol associated with Baphomet, a pagan idol tied to Satanism. Another image depicts her standing behind a model posed as a “dead” body, naked with her internal organs spilling out. Abramovic’s hand gestures in these photos are said to align with occult practices.

If that's not demonic, Satanic, and occult, what would you ever call demonic, Satanic, and occult? Does every demonic person need to self-identify as such? Is this a game of "she's not because she says she's not"? Believe people when they tell you what they are.
Not clear to me how that has anything to do with my comment. Thanks for the reminder not to engage with bizarre comments, though.
Certainly it’s possible to critique her, but I’m not seeing any of that here.
But I don’t see any of that here. Just mindless “it’s dumb.” Very similar vibes to the angry atheism cultural trends 15 years ago.
My reaction to your response is that your moral compass has the sensitivity of a glass thermometer that fell off the wall.
I don’t personally care for her work, at least the more recent stuff. Her older performances were more interesting. But I’m not evaluating it morally, and I don’t really see how it being “demonic” is equivalent to it being dumb.
