Ulay and I end our relations with this project.
The concept is to approach each other from the two ends of the Great Wall of China http://catalogue.montevideo.nl/art.php?id=8754
He begins in the Gobi Desert and I begin at the Yellow Sea; we meet halfway in between.
We each walked 2000 kilometers to say good-bye.
Duration: 90 days. Last meeting on June 3, 1988.
