Marina and Ulay shared a great love story in the 70s. Together they performed art out of the van they lived in, forming a collective called "the other". When their relationship ended they went to the Great Wall of China to walk it together. Both starting from the opposite end until they met in the middle for one last big hug before dissapearing from each other's lives.
For her 2010 MoMA retrospective, Marina performed The Artist is Present, the biggest exhibition of performance art in MoMA's history. During the performance Marina shared a minute of silence staring into the eyes of a complete stranger who was seated in front of her.
Ulay arrived without her prior knowledge. Watch to see what happens.

One of the many reasons why I love MoMa and why I am such a sap. I am still one of those hopeless romantics, and couldn't help tearing up when I watched this.
Have a good weekend everyone.
