Marina Abramovic & Ulay - Dramatic and emotional reunion.

During the 70s and 80s performance artist Marina Abramovic engaged in an intense artistic and romantic relationship with fellow performance artist Ulay (Frank Uwe Laysiepen). In 1988 they ended their relationship with a performance art piece in which they met in the middle of the Great Wall of China and said goodbye. They have rarely seen each other since.

In 2010 the MOMA in New York City held a retrospective of the Abramovic’s work. As part of the exhibition, Abramovic sat silently at a table and allowed members of the public to sit across from her. She sat for hours and expressed no emotion - the two people literally just stared at each other. On the opening day of the exhibition, Ulay surprised her with a visit to the The Artist is Present and this is what happened.

Marina Abramovic y Ulay tuvieron una intensa relación amorosa durante los años 70. Cuando vieron que ésta se venía abajo decidieron terminar su relación con una performance en donde ellos recorrían a pie la Muralla China, comenzando cada uno desde un extremo, para encontrarse en el centro, darse un fuerte abrazo y no volverse a ver. Muchos años después ella expuso en el MoMA 'The Artist is Present' (El Artista está Presente), un minuto de silencio mirando a los ojos de quien quisiera sentarse enfrente. El vídeo muestra lo que ocurrió cuando él llegó al museo.
