Performance is an art of documentation. It would be a mistake to think that performance starts and ends with an authentic experience. Performance is a process connecting a live event with its publicizing and retrospective reflection. An original performance thus isn’t a definitive product – it is replaced by its representation. A reflection on a performance is usually not brought about by a live event, but by its archival remains that instigate the process of interpretation and reconstruction. We examine this process through thirteen model situations. We also work with the assumption that a photographic capture of a performance is not solely a representation of the original event. Photography models the performance and that is why it cannot be seen as a mere secondary representation of the original event, but as the performance itself. In this case, the used photographs become a performative source of knowledge that give way to performative interpretation as an original representation of that which exists no more. Performance is an art of documentation. (MFFK Febiofest)
