With full colour illustrations and simple text: this book tells the well loved ancient folklore story of Marina, a simple traditional forest dwelling Yugoslavian mother of many children, who led a double life as a misunderstood radical performance artist. This book was commissioned for a specially curated shop by artist, Marina Abramovic as part of her forthcoming solo exhibition at the Royal Academy from Sept 2023 - Jan 2024. This is the first ever solo show by a female artist in the main galleries of this historic institution since opening in 1768. This title will tour with Marina's show for 5 years, internationally.
