They're having an entire conversation with just their eyes. This will always be one of my favorite things ever. They're still so in love after all this time
Passion in the eyes where words can’t dwell. To fasten what you feel like, under a curse I fell. Just sat in my mind with a look like a spell. One minute with no words but your eyes can tell. Some give more than needed but we’ve been to hell. Goodbye again loved one, you have tears to sell.
... wow. You guys really need to do some research, and a bit of introspection to go with it. You're exactly what the corrupt, satanic elite wanted - easily influenced, gullible, and over-emotional, and all-too-accepting / unquestioning. I really do wish you guys could see this game for what it is, because it's a bit sad watching you guys idolize someone like this, for something like this. This is probably not your first indication that you're part of a twisted cult but it's definitely a powerful one. ...snap out of it, you don't have all that much time left to do so, and I'm being dead serious. -sigh-
This video, in its simplicity, is one of the most moving things I've ever seen. It makes my eyes watery every time I watch it. It's just awesome. After 20 years, you suddenly find in front of you a man that has probably been the love of your life... how can you hold back your tears?
Notice how she is the first to reach out to him with her hands and is also the first to pull back. As romantic, beautiful, sad and touching as this is, that sequence tells us that we should move on in life no matter how difficult it is. We wish we could remain in the beautiful days of the past, but hearts get broken, things change and time flows forward. True love is a gift denied many.
This is by far the most beautiful thing on the internet to date. The artistic level expressing the depth of love is beyond. After 40 years that love existed just the same. I adore the instant acknowledgment, the expression, and the silence which put them in tears, the fact he tried to hide his emotion with his head nods, and she felt it all. Also the fact that she felt that depth and had to show it to the next person in there minute of silence. The metaphor of this entire exchange is wild. Watch it over and over and understand the different levels. It’s like an onion peeling back the emotional layers. I felt this to my core and appreciate the artist sharing this vulnerability with all of us.
Wow that is one of the best descriptions of the emotions they were expressing out of most of the other descriptions. But there are many great words describing this moment it's difficult to pick one
While your explanation is very on-point, what I truly love about this moment is that it perfectly captures why words / language is wholly incapable of describing things like emotions fully. With real emotions you just know, and you can see it in others and also know through them, yet not fully understand it logically or put it into words that would be able to transmit the emotion.
Did anyone else cry a river watching this video 🥰 how their eyes talked to each other …how their souls just reached out for a very long, ‘I’ve missed you’ hug❤️
2:50 She finally lets go for one last time and he walks away as if it was the final conclusion to their relationship, engaging one another with 1 last touch. True art that shows emotion and colours represented between the two artists through an exchange of eye contacts, Bravo.
I come back every few years or so to watch this when I feel I need to see it. Their backstory makes this even more profound a piece of art. The human experience. It's a beautiful mess.
+marsha eisner - same as you, I have cried more than a dozzen times. I have shared it on Facebook, although some people don't get it but for me is touches my soul.
It's like this involuntary weeping that occurs the moment you connect with the pain of your own past Loves lost; it's the quickening of her breath, the widening & watering of her eyes, and then ultimately the desperate acceptance in her expression as he gets up... and walks away. Closing her eyes - she tries to hold on to the image of him in her head... sadness suddenly veiling across her face as she reluctantly accepts that the moment has passed. #fcknlove
beautiful stated... for but a moment their lifetime they spent together flashed in front of their eyes... it's so simple, but genuinely beautiful in its simplicity.
I’ve had one true love in my life. When I saw this, all those memories came flooding back. I’m sitting here sobbing. If only I had this kind of opportunity.
@@adalvldadalvld I took my ex to court for child support but that doesn't mean the love and hurt isn't real. It's never that black and white when it comes to love.
I wish that one day I open my eyes and I may see my father in front of me, looking in my eyes, smiling.. and I get to hold his hands once.. for just one minute.
You made me cry 😢 I lost my father not long ago because of Covid he’s just 58 and I am still young and my little sister don’t understand much she was the one who got infected by Covid first the house is very empty without him so I know now what it’s mean to have no father 😢😢😢😢
The way he looks at her 💔 😭 we all have that one person that our ‘soul’ belongs too. Sometimes words are not needed and silence can speak a thousand words 💚💚
This gets me every time I watch it. The surprise on her face when she opens her eyes and the tears streaming down her face. You can tell they really loved each other.
I was lucky enough to be at MoMa when she was doing this show! I'd be lying if I knew how significant it was, and I didn't appreciate it, and I didn't wait in line to participate! I regret all that I didn't do that day, so take heed fellow travelers and do those things in the moment so you don't regret it later.
Every time I come here, I WITNESS THE SAME AUSPICIOUS FEELING I FELT WHEN I WATCHED IT THE 1st TIME! LOVE AND TRUST ARE THE ONLY PRECIOUS THINGS ON THIS EARTH, NOTHING ELSE!
I'm just now learning about this woman, what has been said isn't what I see here. Reading your comment about not getting to experience love is hard to believe.
All of us love that one person truly madly deeply with every cell of our body every depth of the soul.. That love they found in each other.. That love doesn't lead to a life long companionship for all.. I'm glad they got to experience it.
The way she looks at him is like telling him, I shouldn't have walked away I should have followed you.. what could have happened?, I could have been happier if I kept you .. it seems like everything just happened yesterday, suddenly remembering all of our happy memories and as you turn ur back once again i recall the pain when we decided to end it.. I loved you, I loved you so much.
I've seen this video several times and each time I watch it I get so emotional and teary-eyed. You can just see and feel the deep emotion when they see each other after so many years have past. It reminds me of the one and only love of my life that I lost 30+ years ago (my own fault). If I had the chance to sit across from him for just a few minutes and look into his eyes, I would probably lose it. Mike will always and forever be in my heart.
Nov 1 2020 I'm here once again watching the two lovers staring at each other as they ponder what would it be like, if they didn't have to go separate ways. It still breaks me, every time.
geotek geotek - are you for real? Just reconnected with the love of my life after 25 years. He’s been celibate this entire time. I’ve been “wilding” like people are a chocolate box sampler. The thing is - he’s the only one who’s ever seen me. So, i will throw it all to the wind and gamble for love then die for it if necessary and that’s how it goes sometimes.
This video brings me back every time. My tears flow hard, as I feel that deep burning choking pain of tears flowing as your heart is sunk, trembling through your body, not sure to move. They were true soulmates.
I remember watching this more then a few years ago .. every time I come back to it I have the same reaction as I did the first time .. tears , heartache, not necessarily sad heartache but heartache none the less .. there is so much love and emotion in that quick minute .. her reaction .. she really truly loved this man .. it was beautiful to be able to see this .. beautiful .. ❤
I return to this video from time to time, and it strikes me every time the deepness of their connection, but also the fact we humans don't need to talk to communicate.
Its like reading a story when looking into their eyes, a story you wish had no ending but you know it does, so you read 1 sentance a day just to make it last a lifetime.
Have you ever loved someone so deeply that no matter what happens in your life that person is already a part of you and always will be, that soulmate that will shake you to your core and will always have a place in your heart long after you have moved on.
I watched this video like a million time still i cried like a baby..the way they stare each others in silence, as if the feelings is still there but they know they can't be together again like they used to..😢
Train Horn Pranks and More Right up until he sued her, lol. And zul44 gaming - seek professional help NOW. I really don't think you have long left, you'll be sacrificing children within 2 more weeks.
Gabor Maté was right about our critical need for human connection. This powerful video shows how much emotion we store as "memories" and how they can serve us to heal. Beautiful!
My ex girlfriend and I have that same intensity, 8 yrs gone now and we both feel the same way about each other.. both with new partners, you only get that love once in a life time, .....She is still the love of my life, I sent this clip to her about 5yrs ago, she sent it back to me at 2am this morning.....
This is one of the most BEAUTIFUL encounters I have EVER seen....I heard their entire conversation....If you have ever TRULY loved someone you did too...
I'm 45 yo, as of yestetday, and I've never been in love. A friend and I were talking about what do I think being in love looks like .... and remembered seeing this video years ago. That, to me, is what true Love looks like.
Eh not really. He took her to court right after this and she had to pay him a bunch of money for royalties from previous work. He only met up with her for money
Well think about it, he contributed so much to Marina’s artwork, that which has touched so many people and made her who she is today, it’s completely fair for him to want his cut. Also why does it have to be salty? Maybe they both had a mutual understanding of “ok now that our moment is over -wipes away tears- I’d say it’s about time we finally settle this financial situation and so we can move tf on from here”
a powerful moment. not just a former lover but a former creative collaborator with whom she shared life-risking art performances. sadly, adding the song dilutes it into hollywood-pop-lite. being present in such a raw, vulnerable moment - as with all the others who sat with Marina for one minute of silence - is more boundless and courageous when the soundtrack is the simple, uncluttered acoustics of the room, the breathing, the shuffling crowd, the catch of your throat in the act of swallowing. this is so much better if you turn the sound off.
They were also in a long term relationship, which they ended 20 years previous by walking the Great Wall of China, meeting in the middle then passing each other by... meeting one last time.... until this show
After i saw how they look each other in silence i realized that i have to open my heart again for true love instead of kill the feeling this whole time. You know, as we grow up we start to think that love is bullshit and manipulate us. But the feeling is beautiful, to FALL in love. I want to experience it again, live up the feeling. 😊
This really was an amazing video. You could really see her face light up the moment she opened her eyes as she knew exactly who he was and even though they chose different paths in life they never seemed to lose the emotional touch and the connection they had despite no contact for 3 decades..
This video used lighting, cameras and music which added to the feels or emotion that this video brought to me. In this video, I realized that even though we may have painful memories of our pasts, there's still something good in it that we may treasure and cherish for the rest of our lives. We should not forget those persons who become part of our journey.
Anyone noticed? After ulay left, when the next person comes, Marina keeps closing her eyes and taking a deep breath as if wishing for Ulay to appear again, Before finally getting ready for that person.
The music and camera’s with the theme “retrospective” created a big impact on the video itself, specifically, those things mentioned made the ambiance and the emotions of the couple be highlighted. “A minute of silence” implies that there are feelings and emotions that do not need to used words in order to be express. It reminds me of the lyrics in one of the song of Ronan Keating saying “ You say it best, when you say nothing at all”.
I cried when I first saw this video some time ago and it still has the same effect. Regrets lost loves , still carrying that candle for each other and somehow all the time in between means nothing..Just that moment looking across the table ..in that moment nothing had changed 💕💕
This live Art Performance by Marina Abramovic makes me feel dumps about the dept love and reactions of the two of them,even though they only use eye contact I still feel the emotions. Their response to each other makes us surprise and curious. In doing this activity they use back ground music ,lights to make them focus and objects( chairs and table) to have the range between people to him. This technologies helps to boost the emotion and connection to each other.🥰🥺
You should go find a priest for an exorcism if you have not done so in the 3 years since that happened. I wish you luck, it's always sad to see someone consumed by satanic ritual.
All those memories from years ago, flashed in both their minds. Just like a song, or even a scent can transport you to a different time in your life....good or bad. Very touching.
Great Performance..........El encuentro de Marina con Ulay, fue un canto de amor, donde las palabras no fueron necesarias...Todo fue dicho..........Bravo.
They're having an entire conversation with just their eyes. This will always be one of my favorite things ever. They're still so in love after all this time
@@VeggyZ you clearly need to get better sources lol. Sure she's an artist but satanic ritual is a bit much
I thought the same. I think I saw forgiveness there
Love is b...ch sometimes. So painfull see these two fall apart when they love each other so much ;(
You know she is a satanic high priest of the rothschild new world order that eats babies right?
@@missmygamergirl445 no f... way really ?!?
That moment when she slowly pulls away her hands and he keeps them there, like he doesn't want to let her go again
So powerful
And then he sued her
@@adalvldadalvld I'm trying to feel something here, I'm laterally crying and laughing because of your comment wtf 😭 😂
@@adalvldadalvld lol
I think Ulay wanted or caused the separation before their china walk.
Straziante
"If I should meet thee,
after long years,
how should I greet thee,
with silence and tears."
Passion in the eyes where words can’t dwell.
To fasten what you feel like, under a curse I fell.
Just sat in my mind with a look like a spell.
One minute with no words but your eyes can tell.
Some give more than needed but we’ve been to hell.
Goodbye again loved one, you have tears to sell.
Did you write this or is this from a poem
@@SnowmanPickins same poem or did you write this?
I wrote this myself
@@feather2643 it's called When We Two Parted by Lord Byron
I think the greatest part of this is she had her eyes closed and when she opened them the emotions in that split second.
i always come back to this video every couple of months... you can truly feel the passion when they look at each other
Monica Maroney i was touched by ur comment nd i dunno who u r but i was gonna remember whoever u r...

SO special, SO intense!
i wonder what she was thinking every time I see this......

The mind knows time but the heart does not.
Real passion and love
Beautifully said
That quote has so much truth!
What a great saying...
From whence thou comes with such wisdom?
Every time I see her cry, I cry. It brings out such emotion in me. Her eyes say it all.
Me 2.

@@VeggyZ calm down holy one. It is not satanic to feel emotions.
@@VeggyZ i don’t think it’s satanic to feel an emotion? they were just sharing something, i don’t see why you got all upset
he means it comes off as a facade too make you feel for them then they got you locked in there trap.
Very few things I have seen have moved me this much. Couldn’t stop the tears and emotion when I watched this. I know exactly how they were feeling.
Too bad it was all bs
Yea, not gonna lie, made my eyes water right at that moment
Have you ever loved someone?
Me too ❤
Absolutely amazing. People who have had true love will understand the depth of it. Loved it.

True love never dies even when lovers are no longer together.
Knowing the back story, this song always makes me tear up with sadness. Rest In Perfect Peace, Ulay.
Recently ended an almost 6-year relationship, and this has left me raw. Love remains, even when those involved cannot. It is so beautiful and so sad.

My ex girlfriend and I have that same intensity, 8 yrs gone now and we both feel the same way about each other.. both with new partners, you only get that love once in a life time, .....She is still the love of my life, I sent this clip to her about 5yrs ago, she sent it back to me at 2am this morning.....
Why dont u get back together?
@@mehreen8220 We did last year, it didn't work.
No właśnie, dlaczego do siebie nie wrócicie ?
This is one of the most BEAUTIFUL encounters I have EVER seen....I heard their entire conversation....If you have ever TRULY loved someone you did too...
Man, I’d hate to be the next one sitting down after that!!!!!!
I come back to this video, time and time again. It's one of the most beautiful, empowering moments of two individual lives. It always makes me cry.
If you have ever been truly in love, then you understand why they did not even have to speak , yet they spoke volumes with their eyes.
I've watched this so many times. I cry every time. Ah, love!
When she opens her eyes after he walks away to see someone new sitting there…realizing it’s not him, such power.
Imagine having your passion once matched by another in order to have this kind of moment. That's extremely fortunate.
Soooo beautiful, I could feel that moment and it took me back ten years ago when I experienced that same emotion with my endless love....
Those teary eyes were not just watching him but all those happy and sad events and everything they went through.❤
What real love looks like. Every year I watch this at least once.
The true art was in this short interaction. The rest was a waste of time.
Watching this as I learnt of Ulays passing away today.
Watching this in 2019 still feeling every bit of emotion.
Me too , i watching it in 2022 and still the same feeling when i see it
I'm 45 yo, as of yestetday, and I've never been in love. A friend and I were talking about what do I think being in love looks like .... and remembered seeing this video years ago. That, to me, is what true Love looks like.
Eh not really. He took her to court right after this and she had to pay him a bunch of money for royalties from previous work. He only met up with her for money
Well think about it, he contributed so much to Marina’s artwork, that which has touched so many people and made her who she is today, it’s completely fair for him to want his cut. Also why does it have to be salty? Maybe they both had a mutual understanding of “ok now that our moment is over -wipes away tears- I’d say it’s about time we finally settle this financial situation and so we can move tf on from here”
I'm just glad I wasn't next...how do you top that!!??
Lol that's exactly what I though!!
darren pilkington You are so on point. Lol
You don't try to top it. Life isn't a contest. You just share moments with others.
lmfao
darren pilkington bring her some snacks? :)
Part of that man never left her heart ✊
This has more meaning to me than I could ever explain ~
Ohh. Very moving unspeakable
Explain. I want to read a book.
25 years later wife and kids, every time I shut my eyes I see her..
Wassup-2020
It is the words left unsaid that rings loudest in the heart.
I just can't with this.. The song only makes it THAT more touching . Such a beautiful piece
One of the most beautiful videos i ever saw.... I return back to it again and again
a powerful moment. not just a former lover but a former creative collaborator with whom she shared life-risking art performances.
sadly, adding the song dilutes it into hollywood-pop-lite. being present in such a raw, vulnerable moment - as with all the others who sat with Marina for one minute of silence - is more boundless and courageous when the soundtrack is the simple, uncluttered acoustics of the room, the breathing, the shuffling crowd, the catch of your throat in the act of swallowing. this is so much better if you turn the sound off.
meg nolia the only true artists are gay
They were also in a long term relationship, which they ended 20 years previous by walking the Great Wall of China, meeting in the middle then passing each other by... meeting one last time.... until this show
You have a good point there! I agree
You have a grasp of emotional expression/minimalism I will fail until my dying days to understand. Well said, friend.
This is such an amazing and powerful video! True love does exist and even decades later we can remember it ❤️
After i saw how they look each other in silence i realized that i have to open my heart again for true love instead of kill the feeling this whole time. You know, as we grow up we start to think that love is bullshit and manipulate us.
But the feeling is beautiful, to FALL in love. I want to experience it again, live up the feeling. 😊
Don't. It's a trap. (He ended up suing her later, by the way)
@@boobyscoo8059 thx for the reminder, i was drunk when writing that comment
@@Bumiround 😂 been there, I feel ya.
This really was an amazing video. You could really see her face light up the moment she opened her eyes as she knew exactly who he was and even though they chose different paths in life they never seemed to lose the emotional touch and the connection they had despite no contact for 3 decades..
Powerful love story. Now she has lost him forever. RIP Ulay.
You can't silence the heart once it has truly been touched we should all have this at least once in a lifetime! I have..
This video used lighting, cameras and music which added to the feels or emotion that this video brought to me. In this video, I realized that even though we may have painful memories of our pasts, there's still something good in it that we may treasure and cherish for the rest of our lives. We should not forget those persons who become part of our journey.
Anyone noticed? After ulay left, when the next person comes, Marina keeps closing her eyes and taking a deep breath as if wishing for Ulay to appear again, Before finally getting ready for that person.
Their eye contact says it all! This is what we called true love ❤️
This is the height of art! The thrill of experiential experiences bursts from every pore of the body. Amazing !
The music and camera’s with the theme “retrospective” created a big impact on the video itself, specifically, those things mentioned made the ambiance and the emotions of the couple be highlighted.
“A minute of silence” implies that there are feelings and emotions that do not need to used words in order to be express. It reminds me of the lyrics in one of the song of Ronan Keating saying “ You say it best, when you say nothing at all”.
I cried when I first saw this video some time ago and it still has the same effect. Regrets lost loves , still carrying that candle for each other and somehow all the time in between means nothing..Just that moment looking across the table ..in that moment nothing had changed 💕💕
This live Art Performance by Marina Abramovic makes me feel dumps about the dept love and reactions of the two of them,even though they only use eye contact I still feel the emotions. Their response to each other makes us surprise and curious.
In doing this activity they use back ground music ,lights to make them focus and objects( chairs and table) to have the range between people to him. This technologies helps to boost the emotion and connection to each other.🥰🥺
ULAY NON c'è più e questa scena è ancora più emozionante 😭
very touching moments....all of the sudden, i could feel my tears rolling down my cheek...
You should go find a priest for an exorcism if you have not done so in the 3 years since that happened.
I wish you luck, it's always sad to see someone consumed by satanic ritual.
What i love everytime I watch this is the conversation that you can see but not hear.
All those memories from years ago, flashed in both their minds. Just like a song, or even a scent can transport you to a different time in your life....good or bad. Very touching.
Great Performance..........El encuentro de Marina con Ulay, fue un canto de amor, donde las palabras no fueron necesarias...Todo fue dicho..........Bravo.
