Author: Marina Abramović

For the past five decades, Abramović, the 77-year-old artist, has given all her energy to her performances, investigating the limits of her mind and body to become what she describes as her “super self”. She has just been the subject of an acclaimed London exhibition (becoming the first female artist ever to be given a solo show in the 255-year-old Royal Academy’s main galleries). She recently performed her opera Seven Deaths of Maria Callas at the London Coliseum. But this month, she is launching another project entirely – The Marina Abramović Longevity Method, a website devoted to sharing her experiences of a range of culture-spanning wellness practices and her study of ancient texts. It sells the natural remedies – energy, immune and anti-allergy drops (£99), plus a Longevity face lotion (£199) – that she credits for keeping her so vital and alive.
