Walk Through Walls: A Memoir

Product Information

Accompanying catalogue for the Marina Abramović exhibition at the Royal Academy from 23 September – 1 January 2024. It’s not a genre I know much about but I’m curious about it too…you’ll have to keep me updated on good ones you find! I remember my grandmother saying that when my mother left home to join the partisans, she left behind sixty pairs of shoes, taking only one pair of old peasant shoes with her.

I think Marina Abramovic is a great artist, but more than that a quite relevant figure and woman of the 20th and 21st century. She pioneered a new notion of identity by bringing in the participation of observers, focusing on "confronting pain, blood, and physical limits of the body".Photograph: Paola + Murray View image in fullscreen ‘You have to exhaust your own system of thinking’ … Marina Abramović in New York in 2015.

An augmented-reality app for iOS and Android enables readers to watch films of Abramović’s original performances while reading the book.At first glance Marina Abramović has made a career from doing the opposite of Elena Ferrante, whose identity, as we all know, has been investigated by a journalist. And my father’s guerilla squad captured the guy who had killed his brother and brought him to my father.

Combining brand-new interviews, never-before-seen images and fascinating ephemera, this book is a testament to the extraordinary life and work of one of our most courageous and groundbreaking artists. Her work explores body art, endurance art, the relationship between the performer and audience, the limits of the body, and the possibilities of the mind. In these exhibitions, she designed a secular ritual that demonstrates how hard it is to let go of our own highly evolved strategies, or perhaps walls, to conceal personal pain. How did I get this number will remain a mystery but I am so so so happy to have this memoir at home.

The extraordinary memoir of the world's most successful performance artist This memoir spans Marina Abramovic's five-decade career, and tells a life story that is almost as exhilarating and extraordinary as her groundbreaking performance art. In one “durational” performance, she declared herself an object and endured crazed audience members cutting her. To the person who complained about the page edges being uneven was probably not aware that this is a first edition print. I have participated in a Marina Abramovic piece of art-experiment in London, in 2014: the `512 hours' and cherish the experience and have met her personally.

I really need to read more of those prize winners – obviously any prize for female authors is right up my alley. An artist’s notebooks are arguably the most authentic means of understanding her process, techniques, and impulses. Even if you are not a fan of her art I would recommend reading this book, I am always at awe how life takes us on various journeys and how we cannot predict the outcomes of the choices we make, and memoirs of artists prove it in the most breathtaking way. Marina Abramović has earned worldwide acclaim as a pioneer of performance art for more than fifty years. This amount includes seller specified domestic postage charges as well as applicable international postage, dispatch, and other fees.

It is accepted by you that Daunt Books has no control over additional charges in relation to customs clearance. And when he saw how beautiful she was, he carried her to safety in a nearby village, where the peasants nursed her back to health. But now it feels like, if I have to wait until next year anyways, why bother starting any of the other books?
