Derribando muros (Knocking down Walls)

Performance artist Marina Abramovic has spent her entire life breaking down barriers; pain, resistance, fear, in an exhaustive search for emotional and spiritual transformation in both life and art. In these extraordinary memoirs she tells her poignant and epic story, from her difficult and abusive childhood in post-war Yugoslavia, through her convulsed artistic and love affair with photographer and artist Ulay, to her daring and controversial performances that stunned viewers and critics around the world. A book that also explores how her total commitment to the present has been the key to her art and success. A vivid and powerful performance in itself, it reveals how she became one of the most important living artists.
