The main concepts they explored were the ego and artistic identity. This was the start of a decade of collaborative work.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://elcultural.com/muere-el-artista-ulay|title=Muere el artista Ulay|access-date=June 12, 2020|date=March 2, 2020|website=El Cultural}}</ref> Both artists were interested in the tradition of their cultural heritage and the individual's desire for rituals.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.tate.org.uk/art/artworks/abramovic-rhythm-0-t14875|title='Rhythm 0', Marina Abramovic, 1974|access-date=June 12, 2020|last=Tate|website=Tate}}</ref> In consecuense,{{clarify|date=October 2020}} they formed a collective named ''The Other''. They dressed and behaved as one, and created a relation of absolute confidence. They created a series of works in which their bodies created additional spaces for the audience's interaction. In ''Relation in Space'' they ran around the room, two bodies like two planets, meshing masculine and feminine energies into a third component they called "that self".<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=traUaknfR5o |archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/varchive/youtube/20211211/traUaknfR5o| archive-date=2021-12-11 |url-status=live|title=Marina Abramović y Ulay en La Artista Está Presente – MoMA 2010|website=[[YouTube]]|date=March 19, 2013 }}{{cbignore}}</ref> ''Relation in Movement'' (1976) had the couple driving their car inside the museum, doing 365 spins. A black liquid dripped out of the car, forming a sculpture, and each round represented a year.<ref>kunstwissen.de [https://archive.today/20120909085829/http://www.kunst-wissen.de/fach/f-kuns/o_pm/abramo0.htm ''Marina Abramovic (1946–'']</ref> After this, they created ''Breathing In/Breathing Out'', where both of them united their lips and inspired the air expired by the other one until they used up all oxygen. Exactly 17 minutes after the start of the performance, both of them fell unconscious, due to their lungs filling with carbon dioxide. This piece explored the idea of the ability of a person to absorb the life out of another one, changing them and destroying them. In 1988, after some years of a tense relationship, Abramović and Ulay decided to make a spiritual travel that would put an end to the collective. They walked along the Great Wall of China, starting on opposite ends and finding each other halfway. Abramović conceived this walk on a dream, and it gave her what she saw as an appropriate and romantic ending to the relationship full of mysticism, energy and attraction.<ref>Gudrun Sachse: [http://www.nzzfolio.ch/www/d80bd71b-b264-4db4-afd0-277884b93470/showarticle/c3aa511b-4a35-46e9-99bc-703d6cfb7141.aspx ''Die Mutter aller Schmerzen''].
