PSYCHOANALYST MEETS MARINA ABRAMOVIC

This new book aims to fill this gap. Yet it is not a therapist's report, nor a record of Fischer's analysis of Abramovic. It records the dialogue between artist and analyst attempting an interpretation of Abramovic's extraordinary violent performances that sometim es reach the brink of faint, even death. The two search for an understanding of the underlying structures and dynamics. Abramovic pe rforms relationships, and she performs violence, yet she remains on her own in facing the pain and fear about it.
