How Marina Abramovic’s Red-Velvet Rope at MoMA Works

The line to sit opposite Marina Abramovic in the atrium at MoMA has become as much a part of her performance as the artist herself. A slew of celebrities, including James Franco, Rufus Wainwright, and Björk, have shown up, one guy has visited fourteen times, and waits as long as eight hours have been recorded. (As to how Abramovic pees, her assistant swears she holds it in.)

Here is a mystery man in tears, a frequent visitor – 14 times in all.
