Marina Abramovic

An artist's notebooks are arguably the most authentic means of understanding her process, techniques, and impulses. And, for a performance artist, a rare, permanent record of how she develops her craft. Compiled over the course of four decades on stationery from various hotels, and other temporary residences, this collection of Marina Abramović's original drawings, collages, poetry, writings, cut-outs, photographs, and doodles offers glimpses of a brilliant mind in constant motion. Beautifully produced and packaged, it takes readers on a journey through Abramović's thoughts-and traces the evolution of the most fruitful phase of her career."I believe we humans need to keep moving forward, and my own life was purely nomadic," Abramović writes of her travel diaries. "My home was everywhere I went because my home was my own body." With the archival material elegantly reproduced in the original size on high-quality paper, this collection offers Abramović's enormous fanbase unprecedented access to her creative process.
