A performance piece by Marina Abramovic & her ex-lover Ulay titled ‘Breathing In/ Breathing Out’… In 1975 Abramovic met Ulay, an artist who shared her date of birth as well as her artistic concerns. Over the next two decades they lived and collaborated together, performing and traveling extensively. Their performances explored the parameters of power and dependency within the triangular relationship between each other and their audience. In one, Breathing In/Breathing Out (1977), with their mouths clamped tightly together and microphones taped to their throats, Abramovic and Ulay breathed in turn the air from each other’s lungs, until - almost to the point of suffocation - they were exchanging only carbon dioxide.
