A collection of exciting and provocative quotes from the internationally renowned performance artist Marina Abramović, who is considered perhaps the most significant and influential performance artist of our time. For decades, she has pushed boundaries with iconic works such as "The Artist Is Present" (2010), where she sat in silence across from members of the audience at the Museum of Modern Art for eight hours a day over three months, and "Rhythm 0" (1974), a six-hour performance during which she stood next to a table holding seventy-two objects, including a scalpel and a loaded gun, with a sign inviting the audience to do whatever they wanted to her. Compiled from interviews, lectures, writings, and other sources, the "Abramović-isms" are a unique collection of quotes that offer a glimpse into the mind of this iconic pioneer.

“Artists must be free people. They must have the complete freedom to express their ideas without restrictions.”

“Our body is an absolute representation of the Universe, so I started studying myself—by studying myself, I can understand everything and everyone else.”

“Beauty has no definition. What matters is what moves you.”

“Never call me the grandmother of performance art. Just call me a warrior.”
