Marina Abramovic Meets Ulay (Abramovića遇上Ulay)


Artist Marina Abromovic meeting a former lover, Ulay, brought tears to my eyes.  Have watched it many times and it always gets me.  It was filmed during her 2010 installation art piece

The Artist Is Present, March–May 2010

She did not know he would appear.

Long story short -Marina Abromovic and Ulay started an intense love story in the 70s, performing art out of the van they lived in. When they felt the relationship had run its course, they decided to walk the Great Wall of China, each from one end, meeting for one last big hug in the middle and never seeing each other again.
