Marina Abramovic e Ulay MoMA

[kar]

She smiled and she cried in the span of one minute, she felt so many emotions all at once. Isn’t it crazy how love does that to us.

For me, the most powerful thing is that *this* is what broke her. This is a woman who sat still and unperturbed while she was stabbed, burned, deprived, literally tortured, in the name of her art, and the thing that breaks her artistic trance isn’t pain or fear or depravation, it’s love and loss.

Simply beautiful.

They got what many lovers wish for, after they failed to live their life together... seeing into each others eyes once more, not talking, just looking, expressing all the love, all the sorrow, both knowing, that they can't go back to how it was..

You weren’t just a visitor… you were my life

[primieramalantutada]

No words.... But still makes me cry...

[goingsnakespiritchaser]

Such an intense moment that anybody who has loved and lost can relate to.

I don't know WHY exactly, but this is so beautiful. Infinitely touching.

I have seen heaven & hell in that one minute... A minute that conveys more emotion than an entire movie😢

[bluebanana]

this honestly broke me. this is an exact imitation of life itself, in the form of love, as we live on and come across with many many people in the world, somehow someone comes along and touches us truly, if we’re lucky enough we can find someone like this and love them unconditionally and lose them eventually, them leaving the table and us maturing enough with time to understand and accept to say goodbye to them gracefully. then other people come into our lives that we again, love but it’s never that same love that we have experienced. maybe it hurts today to say goodbye to them but to fall in love, such a feeling that not many can get the chance to experience it, so we can only look at the next table that’s sitting next to us and hope that they either did or will find that special one too. them not saying a word to each other but they get each other, as if they are speaking in other dimensions, universes that we are not able to see, what a bond! such an amazing moment for us to witness

Makes me cry too and smile at the same time. Isnt it wonderful how we people connect to each other?

A heavy, heavy scene. Emotional and beautiful.

Today I visited the Stedelijk Museum, to see the exposition on the life and works of Marina Abramović. I was amazed, scared, shocked and surprised. The footage of Ulay and Marina, walking from opposite sides of The Great Wall to each other, that made me tear up. It moved me. I couldn't handle it. This made me tear up as well. I remember seeing this video back in... 2010? It was a viral video. I did not know who they were, back then, but I was moved. And now I'm moved again. And amazed. Shocked. And surprised. And moved.

i cry everytime i watch this. i could talk about this for hours

[askerbey]

because being apart too is part of love
because those apart are still beloved

[Auirtozz]

When art and reality meet.... you have Marina, a toweringly powerful devotee to her craft. They reconciled in 2017 <3

It is like watching someone see a loved one come back to life

[GunFriedericiSvantessonart]

What a touching moment, once in a lifetime🥰

Danke Olli, für diese wunderschöne Geschichte! Ich liebe Fest und Flauschig :)

[doedelbroesel]

I also have to cry every time i see this. I too young to have been to that artwork, but it feels very powerful.
Also hard for the person who sat down after Ulay
