Marina Abramovic - The Lovers: The Great Wall Walk (still), 1988/2008, performed for 90 days along The Great Wall of China. 16mm film transferred to two-channel video
Artists Marina Abramovic and Ulay are known in many parts of the world as the lovers whose relationship ended at the Great Wall of China. Initially, when the couple planned the trip, they intended to get married at the center of the wall. However, it was years later when the couple finally acquired all the authorization required from the Chinese government and were able to raise funds for the projected. Sadly, by then, the couple’s 12-year relationship has crumbled and what started out as a marriage celebration turned into last goodbyes for the couple. The couple had planned to be the first people to walk the entirety of the Great Wall, however, they were beaten to the punch by a Chinese railway clerk.

A tragically deep love lost story. Special gift to the viewers.

[@albertobaudino1963]

This is a beautiful document on the wall!! But I would like to ask you a question! I learned that around the time of this video Ulay He had an affair with a woman with whom he had a son!! But is this true?

[@rebelrelicguitars]

Can anyone share any info on the music at 33:33? And where I can get recordings?

[@pavelbhattacharjee7470]

how did they get the food and drink en route? How did they find someone else who're willing to go on this journey while taking video?

[@tonygiles3256]

Performance art does not need explanation of process..but if you watched at the beginning you would understand

[@vanncarmen3170]

Why did they separated ?

[@vas7229]

ulay didn't like how commercialized their art had become and they both had affairs, ulay even got his mistress pregnant and eventually married her iirc

[@ozmer]

I don't believe they walked the entirety.

[@ussfhenx]

you don’t know them than

[@ruralrehab]

Yes impossible for them to walk the full 21 000km in such a short time

[@qqiiks9627]

I can’t find anything in Russian about this topic. I’m upset.
