Artist Marina Abramovic was doing a live art performance that consisted of spending one minute of silence with a complete stranger.
Many people showed up, but her response to one person in particular gave me the goosebumps, and you’ll soon see why:
Watch
At the 1:30 mark, Ulay, her former lover for many years sits down across from her. Marina and Ulay broke up more than 30 years ago and this is the first time that they have seen each other again since then. This was obviously an emotional and shocking moment for her, and as you can see, she tries to carry on until the end, but seems almost unable to. I was fighting back tears myself with this one. This is really beautiful.
“To make a difference in someone’s life, you don’t have to be brilliant, rich, beautiful, or perfect. You just have to care enough and be there.”-anon
bonus
(glass half full, cynics version :)
This might've been powerful of she wasn't a sick, satanic bitch...
Sadly, this post seems to have cost me a few dozen subscribers from the "Center for Substackers Who Don't Read Good". Oh well
