'Rawly intimate and weirdly mesmeric. Could this be her bravest work of performance art to date?' Observer 'A page-turner. Shocking, genuinely moving, always coruscatingly honest. Abramovic exposes herself as provocatively and fearlessly in language as she has done in her largely performance art' Elle Performance artist Marina Abramovic has spent her life walking through walls - barriers of pain, endurance, acceptability and, above all, art and life. In this extraordinary memoir she tells her story from her severe, abusive childhood in post-war Yugoslavia to the daring and controversial acts of performance that have stunned audiences and won international acclaim. Exploring how her extreme commitment to the moment is the secret to her art and success, Walk Through Walls reveals how she became one of the most important living artists in the world. 'Abramovic confesses, confides, complains, instructs and reflects with intelligence and humour on her difficult but ultimately magical life and liberating work' Willem Dafoe 'Compelling, admirable, unforgiving' The Times Literary Supplement 'Engaging, valuable, enjoyable' Deborah Levy, Guardian 'Beautiful, panoramic, touching, deep' Laurie Anderson.
