Marina Abramovic and Ulay
started an intense love story in the 70s, performing art out of the van
they lived in. When they felt the relationship had run its course, they
decided to walk the Great Wall of China, each from one end, meeting for
one last big hug in the middle and never seeing each other again.
At her 2010 MoMa retrospective Marina performed ‘The Artist Is
Present’ as part of the show, where she shared a minute of silence with
each stranger who sat in front of her. Ulay arrived without her knowing
and this is what happened. (-synopsis from http://zengarage.com.au/2013/03/marina-abramovic-and-ulay/ written by Justin Fox)
I now know why they say "silence is gold"
When you can tell thousands words without saying anything
When you feel the warmth of the tears of emotion
When you see someone right in the eyes
and the memories come to you
better or worse
in silence.
