THE GREAT WALL OF POSSIBILITIES

…They walked the Chinese Great Wall, embarking on a journey mirroring the complexities of love,  art, and the delicate balance between independence and interdependence.  Ultimately, the walk transformed from a wedding to a symbolic divorce, reflecting the changes in their lives and relationship.

Serbian and German artists Marina Abramović & Ulay met serendipitously in Amsterdam on their shared birthday of November 30th, marking the beginning of their love story and artistic collaboration. Their nomadic lifestyle and daring performances, like “Relation in Time” and “Rest Energy,” set the stage for a relationship that pushed boundaries of connection and vulnerability, like creating a two-headed body in pursuit of understanding the depths of human relationships.

As we are now in the Year of the Dragon, reminiscent of the myths Abramović collected during their nomadic travels, we step onto our own Great Wall of Possibilities.

TIME HEALS ALL

As the curtain falls, we stand on the edge of endless possibilities, reminiscent of Marina Abramović and Ulay’s poignant reunion. It takes us back to that unforgettable night during “The Artist Is Present,” at the New York Museum of Modern Art in 2010. Abramović embarked on a transformative journey, sitting in silence for eight hours a day, inviting the public to hold her gaze from a distance. The show was a mix of spiritual catharsis and perceived self-indulgence, drawing diverse reactions from spectators who queued for hours for a few minutes of connection. On opening night, Ulay, Abramović’s long-lost lover, emerged from the audience, breaking a 22-year silence. Their eyes locked, smiles emerged, and tears flowed. Defying her own rule, Abramović bridged the two-meter gap, touching Ulay’s hands to grand applause, marking the birth of a new dragon. After their arduous journey and a long time apart, they were finally reunited. The journey of relationships, demands courage, vulnerability, and the awakening of new dragons. May our connections, artistic collaborations, and love stories be as profound and transformative as the odyssey of Marina and Ulay. See you on the other side, where love knows no boundaries, and possibilities are as vast as the Great Wall itself.
