A goddess of performance art, Marina Abramović has continued to move and unsettle us with the same vigor and visual power for four decades. The Museum of Contemporary Art in Lyon, an early collector of her work, presents the pioneering period of her radical oeuvre, which began as a duo in the mid-1970s with her partner and collaborator Frank Uwe Laysiepen, known as Ulay. performances Created in all corners of the world by the two artists, culminating in their poignant separation at the end of a long and tragic walk of love along the Great Wall of China in 1988. A beautiful tribute, paid a year after Ulay's death, to the most borderline of art history. A loving elegy to incommunicability, magnificently orchestrated.
