Rest Energy ( Marina Abramovic & Ulay 1980)

[BACKGROUND: Marina and Ulay were a couple known for their incredible performative art, they were in a collaborative partnership from 1976 until 1988]

Rest Energy is one of their well-known artwork released in 1980. It shows both surrendering the arrow on the weight of their body and the arrow pointing to Marina's heart, they placed small microphones near their heart to record the heartbeat. This performance was on point on demonstrating complete trust.

The entire performance lasted 4 minutes and 10 seconds.

To me Marina Abramovic is one of the greatest and most passionate artists of all time, this is one of my favorite artwork pieces of hers (& Ulay's), I think it perfectly captured the definition of love by completely surrendering to the other person with vulnerability, trust & life.
