分別22年的重逢：行爲藝術家重遇愛人的感人一幕

In 2010, performance artist Marina AbraMovic's retrospective exhibit "The Artist is Present" at New York's MoMa (The Museum of Modern Art) spanned over four decades of her prolific career.
2010年，行爲藝術家瑪麗娜·阿伯拉莫維奇在紐約的紐約現代藝術博物館舉行回顧展覽“藝術即是當下”，展出她四十年多產的職業生涯中的作品。

She also staged an original work, a solo piece during which she sat in a chair at a table, facing museum visitors in silence.
她也在展覽上表演了這次原創的作品：坐在一張桌前的椅子上，靜默地面對着參觀者們。

"Essentially, it’s a solo version of 'Nightsea Crossing,'" the New York Times described, comparing the piece with a duo piece she once performed with her fellow artist and one-time lover Ulay, "with Ms. Abramovic sitting silent at a table in the museum’s atrium, facing an empty chair."
紐約時報稱，“這是是作品《凝視》的單人表演版本，”。之前她曾和藝術家、同時也是她從前的愛人烏萊一起表演過這個行爲藝術作品。“這次表演是阿伯拉莫維奇女士一人靜靜坐在桌前，面對博物館中庭一張無人就座的椅子。”

She’s scheduled to sit there all day, every day, during museum hours, for the run of her show. The museum estimates that, if she can stick to the plan, she will sit for 716 hours and 30 minutes, earning her a record for endurance in the performance art sweepstakes."
在她的展覽舉行期間，每天在博物館開館時間全天坐在桌前，這是她原本的計劃。博物館估計稱，按照這個計劃進行下去，她將在桌前共靜坐716個小時30分鐘，打破行爲藝術的領域忍耐力的極限。

As visitors sat in complete silence in the chair opposite her, Abramovic would raise her head and look them in the eye for one minute, bringing some museum-goers to tears.
當參觀者也靜靜坐在對面一張椅子上時，阿伯拉莫維奇會擡起頭來，注視對方的眼睛，時間長達一分鐘，讓有些參觀者都流下淚來。

What Abramovic couldn't not have anticipated was that one of those visitors would be the man she once performed with.
出乎阿伯拉莫維奇意料的是，這些坐在對面椅子上的參觀者之中，有一人正是從前和她一同表演這一行爲藝術作品的人：她的愛人烏萊。

When Ulay showed up, the piece moved the artist to tears — and the room to applause.
烏萊的出現讓這位藝術家感動得流下了眼淚，也讓展廳中的觀衆間響起了掌聲。

"Marina Abramovic and Ulay started an intense love story in the 70s, performing art out of the van they lived in.
“瑪麗娜·阿伯拉莫維奇和烏萊在70年代曾有過一段熱烈的愛情，當時兩人會一同在麪包車外表演行爲藝術，而那輛麪包車就是他們的住處。

“When they felt the relationship had run its course, they decided to walk the Great Wall of China, each from one end, meeting for one last big hug in the middle and never seeing each other again.
當兩人感到感情已經走到盡頭時，他們決定走上中國長城，兩人各從長城的一端開始，在中間相遇，擁抱對方，然後從此再也不見面。

“In 2010, Marina performed ‘The Artist Is Present,’ a minute of silence with each stranger who sat in front of her. Ulay arrived without her knowing it and this is what happened," commenter HGiskardReventlov wrote on YouTube.
“2010年，瑪麗娜進行了‘藝術即是當下’的表演，和坐在她對面的陌生人對視一分鐘。在她毫不知情的情況下，烏萊來到了，這就是當時發生的事情，” YouTube視頻網站用戶HGiskardReventlov在視頻下評論道。
