In 1988, however, after twelve years of collaboration, the two decided to
embark on a journey that would end their relationship. This wasn’t a typical
break-up as we know it; the two walked from opposite ends of The Great Wall of
China to meet in the middle and say goodbye, some 2500 km each!
They called this piece The Great Wall Walk and it was the last time the saw
each for over 20 years.
As with any good love story, the hope of reuniting was finally fulfilled
back in 2010 during a live performance piece imagined by Abramovic at the MoMa.
In this piece, Abramovic let patrons sit silently across a table from her
for up to 1-minute each. She didn’t show much emotion at all, but all that
changed when Ulay sat down across the table from her.
Despite there being almost no verbal interaction, this reunion is one of
the most powerful displays of love we’ve ever seen!
Share this video if you are touched by their powerful love story.
