Point & Shoot. Performance and photography
Point & Shoot. Performance and photography
In the spring of 2004 Dazibao presented a three-part project entitled Performance et Photographie: POINT & SHOOT. The event brought together several artists for two exhibitions and one day of performances. This book is an extension of the project. Six writers have been invited to continue reflecting upon the connections between photography and performance, moving beyond what is apparently their most obvious relationship — the recorded image’s function to document transient practices.
LES ESSAIS
The collection entitled LES ESSAIS provides a site for discussion and confrontation between various currents of photographic theory. The texts in this collection explore the repercussions on photography resulting from the historical development of the gaze.
