Live Art on Camera: Performance and Photography
USA, Cincinnati Art Museum, 1986. 
208 pp., il., 28 by 17.5 cm

Ex-Library book, but otherwise in very good condition with some wear to the soft cover.

Live Art on Camera showcases the work of photographers and filmmakers who documented seminal performance art events from the 1950s to the present in Europe, the United States and Japan. The publication explores themes integral to the complex debate surrounding the subject, status, and ontology of performance documentation.

Performance events are primarily received through still images: arguably subjective records, translated through the intentions, ideas and aesthetics of the photographer. Live Art on Camera contextualises photographic documentation within the photographers’ or filmmakers’ wider practices. Artists featured include: Hans Breder, Otsuji Kiyoji, Babette Mangolte, Ana Mendieta, Peter Moore, Carolee Schneemann.

Essays by Alice Maude-Roxby, Kathy O’Dell, Barbara Clausen, Carrie Lambert-Beatty. Texts and interviews by Babette Mangolte, Hans Breder, Stuart Brisley, Dona McAdams, Ute Klophaus, Rosemary Mayer, Lisa Kahane, Leda Papaconstantinou, Shozo Shimamoto/Kiyoji Otsuji, Barbara Moore.

English Edition.
