Camera/Action: Performance & Photography

This article presents the importance of the collaboration between photography and performance art. Although, it was not always accepted many performance artists relied on the medium of photography to document their work. Photography also allowed these artists to present their works to a much larger audience then was present at their original performance. Furthermore, the article implies the need for an association between live performance and photography, by presenting the notion that performance artists should embrace the photographic style of conceptual artists. Photography and performance art are really not as different as once believed, for they both rely on the viewer to make the piece come to life.
An example of one artist who choose to make photography a main focus of her work was Barbara Probst.
