This memoir spans Abramovic's five-decade career and tells a life story that is almost as extraordinary as her groundbreaking performance art. Taking us from her early life in communist ex-Yugoslavia, to her time as an a young art student in Belgrade, the book also describes her relationship with the West German performance artist Ulay who was her lover and sole collaborator for twelve years. Marina Abramovic is a Serbian performance artist based in New York. Her work explores the relationship between performer and audience, the limits of the body, and the possibilities of the mind. Active for over five decades, Abramovic has been described as the 'grandmother of performance art'.
