Imponderabilia
performance art by Abramović and Ulay
Quick Summary
Imponderabilia was a 1977 performance art piece by Marina Abramović and Ulay. The work involved the artists standing naked, facing each other, in a narrow museum entrance. This forced visitors to choose which of the two artists to squeeze between, thereby confronting them with their own choices and the physical space occupied by the performers. The piece explored themes of gender identity and challenged audience interaction with art.1
