Documentation of performance. Reflections on how to materialize absence in today's action art: first approximation.
Abstract
ABSTRACT: Performance is a discipline in which work and documentation go hand in hand, there is a great deal of connection, they are intertwined and confused on many occasions. In this brief study on the documentation of performance, we propose an expansion and updating of concepts, based on the new needs that have arisen in today's art of action. We propose four new categories or typologies, according to their intrinsic (essential) qualities: the documentary image, the theatrical image, the trophy image and the post-produced image. The latter is divided, in turn, into publicity or propaganda image and exhibition or market image.
