Now, This is a Moment, of Some Kind, or Another

At some point, during Marina Abramovic’s “The Artist is Present” piece in 2010, her old lover showed up. There’s some backstory here, though you are encouraged (by sources in the art community) to take it with a grain of salt. What’s important is to mute your speakers, and watch what passes between the two of them when he sits down. Whether it was pre-arranged, or not, or whether she knew he was coming, it’s hard to watch this and not have some kind of emotional reaction.
