About the book:
Agreeing to answer any question that was posed, Abramovic embarked on 17 months of candid interviews conducted by her friend and confidante, Katya Tylevich. The result is a monolithic retrospective that takes us from the humble beginnings of a shy child sitting at the back of the class, to fearless pioneer, conquering and subverting the art world with boundary-pushing performances, and concluding with her most profound personal experience to date.
Over 600 images from Abramovic’s personal archives set these captivating memories alight, creating a fascinating, visual landscape and demonstrating the inextricably intertwined nature of her life and work.
A breathtakingly intimate journey, we are led across deserts, oceans and cities to explore extreme highs and lows, all the while marvelling at how Abramovic approaches every success and setback with her signature humour and wit. Never shying away from the truth, no stone is left unturned, and Abramovic’s fearlessness imbues every page.
“This beautiful special edition contains additional material which allows the readers new opportunities to connect with my work and life. It will include an exclusive audio interview with the editor, Katya Tylevich, as well as a special limited-edition drawing.” Marina
“A year after finishing our book together, Marina Abramovic and I still can’t shut up. This special edition captures our ongoing conversations about life and art, and the continued relevance and evolution of Marina’s story. How can a biography of Marina’s life be static, when she herself never is?” Katya
