Excerpts from Marina Abramovic Is My Mother
|
"She takes pictures of me
while I am sleeping with a plastic machine gun in my hands. I am very young. When I wake, we play soldiers in the forest. She is easy to catch but I never pretend to kill her." |
"There were many other performances. In those days, I thought news of my performances might reach Marina and get me back to her but it never did. Eventually, I grew tired of inviting the public to watch me hurt myself."
|
"At the funeral, a thousand regrets were born in her head and came out through her mouth. For each, a small egg on her tongue. For each, another small brown bird gained wings and flew through the church."
