Chrissie Iles, Kristine Stiles and Klaus Biesenbach. Marina Abramovic. PHAIDON PRESS LTD, 2008.
This book was extremely helpful in giving specific details on her solo performances and collaborations with Ulay. It was almost autobiographical, with an interview that focused on her history of art-making and her thoughts behind them. There were different sections that focused on her childhood and personal issues with her family - these were particularly interesting as Marina's childhood was rough, but it wasn't completely relatable to the presentation.
Klaus Peter Biesenbach. Marina Abramović: The Artist Is Present. Museum of Modern Art (New York) 2010.
This book was great as it focused on the progression of Marina's art practice. It was also written and constructed in chronological order, which made it a lot more easier for my research on her artworks and different era's of art making. With the book being made available as a part of her retrospective exhibition of her performance works, it had a lot of focus on the retrospective, focusing more on what she thought about her works now, rather than her thoughts before.

This forty minute YouTube video was not very helpful with information, but was a great way to look inside and watch the world of Marina's performances. You could hear her direct thoughts because she does a voice-over throughout the entire video. I found by watching these pieces being re-performed, I got the essence of her performances and what she was aiming to communicate to the audience and to herself.
