Abstract
In this research project I intend to investigate several of the arguments that exist within the history of documenting performance art. Through looking at performance artwork examples and their relationship with their documentation, I mean to investigate what constitutes a live performance act. I will then examine whether the resulting documentation that is produced can ever truly represent the live act, or if you have to be there to interpret it. If a piece of artwork can be documented it also means it can be re-created. I aim to explore what happens to a piece of artwork when it is recreated, in the context of performance art, using Marina Abramovich’s series of performances Seven Easy Pieces as a case study.
