Marina Abramovic & Ulay, Rest Energy, 1980
The artists held a taut bow with an arrow loaded and pointing at Abramovic’s heart, with only the weight of their bodies maintaining the tension. Microphones recorded their rapidly accelerating heartbeats.
Abramovic and Ulay met in 1975, and lived and collaborated together until 1988. Their last work together, The Great Wall Walk (1988), entailed each walking 2,000 km along the Great Wall of China, starting at opposite ends and meeting in the middle to say goodbye to each other.
