A monograph on Marina Abramovic's work with crystals, a part of her practice that is still underexplored.
Marina Abramovic (1946) believes in the power of crystals to store the whole history of the earth and carry and transmit their energy. Thus, crystals are mainly linked to the Transitory Objects - a series of objects that the artist created to embody energy and trigger physical and mental experiences in the public through direct interaction, several installations, and exhibitions. Published on the occasion of the retrospective exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art (MAM) Shanghai, the book tells the story of how Marina Abramovic discovered and explored the power of stones and crystals, at first, during her performance The Great Wall of China with Ulay, and later by visiting mines around Brazil.
The publication contains her personal theory on crystals and energy, with her drawings, pictures of her works, and other sources describing Abramovic's vision of crystals and the "crystal meditation" her works aim to inspire. It also contains a spiritual guide, along the lines of The Marina Abramovic method. Instruction cards to reboot your life, communicating with the reader and inspiring actions and meditations.
