The Abramovic Method originator says the singer was "humble" and "determined" when they worked together.
Lady Gaga has been hailed as a "hardcore student" who was "incredible" to work with, by performance artist Marina Abramovic.
This week saw the unveiling of a promotional video of Lady Gaga demonstrating the Serbian artist's Abramovic Method, as part of a Kickstarter campaign to launch a new institute for the artist.
The video features Lady Gaga showing off some of the mental and physical exercises, including walking naked and blindfolded through a first.
"I was very impressed with how humble and incredibly determined and hardcore this kid is," Marina revealed to MTV News this week after the video's premiere. "She said, 'I want you to teach me, I want to be your student'.
"She is a hardcore student,' she explained. "I had to blindfold her and she was in the forest for three hours, eaten by mosquitos and spiders, scratched by the bushes.
"It was quite incredible. Whatever I told her she met the exercise absolutely to the end, never complaining," she added. "And my exercises are pretty tough."
