Abstract 
At a recent symposium on live art practices I was asked to speak about Body Artist Gina Pane’s ‘collaborative and complicit relationship with an audience and all this implies for a live, time-based practice’. It is impossible to address this topic without looking at the way Pane used reproductive media such as photography and video. I argue here that their purpose in her performances was not simply to record an ephemeral event for posterity, but also, and perhaps even primarily, to emphasize and solicit from the spectators an understanding of their role in the action.
