A Performance Situation Using Walking, Running
Vito Acconci American
Not on view
In 1969 Acconci moved from poetry to creating photographic works that used the medium to document "performance situations"-preconceived activities executed before a live audience or in private. In this piece he set himself the simple task of walking back and forth in front of the camera and recording his position at fixed intervals, a process close in spirit to the "task performances" of his contemporary the avant-garde choreographer Yvonne Rainer.
