Marina Abramovic: Transforming Energy : (Crystal Series)

Experience the evolution of Abramovic’s artistic journey through her engagement with crystals and stones

Celebrated Serbian conceptual and performance artist Marina Abramovic (born 1946) believes in the power of crystals to store the whole history of the earth and carry and transmit their energy.
Inspired by one of Abramovic’s most iconic performances, her walk across the Great Wall of China with German artist Ulay in 1988, Transforming Energy includes unseen images of her walk on the Great Wall along with a series of captivating new artworks especially created for the survey. The book tells the story of how Abramovic discovered and explored the power of stones and crystals and contains her personal theory on crystals and energy, with her drawings, pictures of her works and other sources describing her vision of crystals and the "crystal meditation" her works aim to inspire.
The book features a diverse range of works spanning decades, including new pieces, crystal-based objects sourced internationally and Abramovic’s renowned sculptural works known as Transitory Objects, which she has meticulously crafted over the years.
