ABRAMOVIĆ, Marina
On the Erotic

For Marina Abramović, eroticism is by no means limited to the romantic relationship between two people, but acts as a collective force in many areas of life. According to the performance artist, erotic energy must find a public form through artistic and political practices in order to prevent it from leading to violence and war.

In this book, Abramović talks about female sexuality after menopause, the eroticism of the masses and her love for the planet. Selected texts and recipes provide insights into the politics of eroticism, how to brew a magical love potion, the demands of the eco-sex movement and the symbolism of the vulva and its constitutive power for communities.
