Walk Through Walls

Her boldest work of performance art to date... Raw and intimate. This memoir encompasses Marina Abramovic's five-decade-long career and tells a life story that is almost as exciting and extraordinary as her groundbreaking performance art. It takes us from her early childhood in communist former Yugoslavia to her time as a young art student in Belgrade in the 1970s, where she first gained attention with a series of works that used the body as a canvas. The book also describes her relationship with the West German performance artist Ulay, who was her lover and sole collaborator for 12 years. Abramovic has collaborated with stars like Lady Gaga, Jay-Z, James Franco, and Willem Dafoe. She is best known for her recent works "The Artist is Present" and "512 Hours." This book offers a fascinating insight into the life of one of today's most significant artists and into the life of the woman who has been described as "the grandmother of performance art.".
