PHOTOGRAPHY AND PERFORMANCE by Mark Alice Durant

PHOTOGRAPHY AND PERFORMANCE by Mark Alice Durant


"The goal of much performance and Conceptual work of those years was the dematerialization of art: an attempt to separate art from precious materials and pretentious institutions so that it could exist in more pure, less compromised forms. Photography was understood and utilized as a functional medium meant to produce an affectless record, without the taint of style or authorship."
