Renowned performance artist Marina Abramović talked to me ahead of the opening of her new show at the Lisson Gallery last week. She very kindly gave me a tour of the exhibition despite the fact that it was very close to opening and very far from ready. In the film she describes just a handful of the works on show, including Rhythm 0, a display of objects that were used to sometimes violent affect on her during a performance in 1974. See the video on guardian.co.uk.

This is actually the third video I have produced about Marina. The first, filmed in her apartment in Lower Manhattan and directed by Michael Tyburski, introduces her work:

The following year, in a rather lo-fi production, we took Twitter's questions to the Manchester International Festival and overcame a power cut to put them to Marina:
