Descriere

Marina Abramovic & Ulay: No Predicted End Two of the most iconic performance artists collaborated for 17 years. This book covers the final meeting between Marina Abramovic and Ulay after year-long conflict.
Marina Abramovic and Ulay met on November 30, 1975, their shared birthday, became both partners and artistic collaborators. Together they created groundbreaking performances such as Relations in Space, in which they collided head-on for over an hour, Rest Energy, in which they balanced a bow with the arrowhead aimed at Marina's heart, and Night-sea Crossing, in which they sat in silence facing each other for seven hours, repeated 22 times.
Their last performance in 1988 consisted of a 4,000 km walk from opposite ends of the Great Wall of China, not to get married, as planned, but to get divorced. After a touching reunion in The Artist is Present in 2010 and a subsequent conflict over rights, they met one last time, shortly before Ulay's death, for a conversation about their love and artistic legacy. This meeting became a final work of art, where the truth behind the masks was explored, not through pain, but in the light of death.
Louisiana Channel filmed their conversation and it has resulted in a richly illustrated book. The book has been selected a Best Danish Book Design of the year.
