Now available in a limited, slipcased edition of three hundred copies signed by the artist. Never before published, this self-curated, intensely personal collection of travel notes and sketches by the world's most revered performance artist offers readers a kind of iconography of Abramovic's daring and utterly original body of work.
Compiled over the course of four decades on stationery from various hotels and other temporary residences, this self-curated collection of Marina Abramovic's original drawings, collages, poetry, writings, cut- outs, and photographs offers readers a rare insight into a daring and utterly original body of work. This book takes readers on a journey through the brilliant mind of the world's most revered performance artist - a mind in constant motion and always evolving. "I believe we humans need to keep moving forward and my own life was purely nomadic," Abramovic writes of her travel diaries. "My home was everywhere I went, because my home was my own body." AUTHOR: Marina Abramovic has earned worldwide acclaim as a pioneer of performance art for more than fifty years. In 2012 she founded the Marina Abramovic Institute (MAI), a platform for immaterial and long durational work to create new possibilities for collaboration among thinkers of all fields. She lives in New York.
