Marina Abramović / Nomadic Journey and Spirit of Places

Never before published, this self-curated, intensely personal collection of travel notes and sketches by the world's most revered performance artist offers readers a kind of iconography of Abramović's daring and utterly original body of work. 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.

"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 its original size on high-quality paper, this collection offers Abramović's enormous fanbase unprecedented access to her creative process.
