#11 Performance

Performance art is a category regarded as one of the forms of the new conceptual art, which attempted to break down the original notion of art as a special artefact, to tear down its mould of a commercial commodity and to eliminate its physical, decorative function. One of the forms of the concept was action art – the art of performance. Pavlína Morganová will give us a detailed analysis of the relationship between photography and performance art in her theoretical essay. We will attempt to look at this relationship purely from the point of view of photography and will make a few comments on the gradual changes in the relationship of photography and other art forms, and its notable emancipation in the last twenty years.

Martin Zet

To believe in the journey towards the Why.

To reject studies, knowledge, the familiar.

To stand quietly.

Handy hands at hand.

27 July 1995, Petrovice u Sedlčan

It was not so long ago that Martin Zet’s primary school-aged daughter asked him how she should answer the question: “What does your dad do?” I would assume that the subject of this query advised his daughter to write in her homework assignment that her father is a sculptor, but apparently even he hesitated a bit…
