Marina Abramovic and Ulay
were artists who met and fell in love in the 70s. For a decade, they
did avant-garde collaborative work, even referring to themselves as a
collective being, “The Other.” Yet like many intense collaborations, it
ran its course. The flames that burn the brightest sometimes burn out
quickly. They parted ways after one final trip across The Great Wall of
China. They began at opposite ends, each walking the 2500 kilometers to
meet in the middle before they said goodbye.
At her 2010 MoMa retrospective, Marina performed a piece titled, “The
Artist Is Present.” She sat in silence for a minute with each stranger
who sat in front of her. At the opening night of the show, Ulay was
among them. This is that chapter of their story:
