Performance art
Performance art is a form of contemporary art in which the artist’s action itself becomes the artwork.
It is not a painting and not music in the traditional sense.
It is a moment, a gesture, a presence, an experience.
Short and to the point:
The artist = the artwork
It is a moment, a gesture, a presence, an experience.
Short and to the point:
The artist = the artwork
Body, voice, time, and space are the main tools
Often without a stage, without boundaries, without “comfort” for the viewer
Why performance art?
To shake things up
Why performance art?
To shake things up
To ask a question rather than give an answer
To reveal vulnerability, pain, protest, silence, absurdity
To break the boundary between the viewer and the artist
An important point
In performance art, you don’t have to be pleasant.
Sometimes it is:
humiliation
In performance art, you don’t have to be pleasant.
Sometimes it is:
humiliation
silence
repetition
strangeness
discomfort
And that is exactly why it gets noticed.
Why performance art often attracts more attention than “pure” art
Because:
the viewer sees a living human being, not a “product”
And that is exactly why it gets noticed.
Why performance art often attracts more attention than “pure” art
Because:

an emotion arises here and now
voyeurism, empathy, aggression, and shame are activated

Zombie — Violin Cover (The Cranberries) | Vladimir Bodunov
I hope that one day humanity—awakened from greed, violence, and madness—will listen to this piece as a memory of a dark and insane past.
But unfortunately, it is painfully relevant right now. And for me, as a musician, it is a great honor to perform this genius work exactly where you point me to — on a trash can.
Thank you for this video to Katharina und Frank!!!
“Zombie” by The Cranberries — Violin Cover by V. Bodunov, performed in the subway.
I play it almost every day — usually on the days when I don’t earn anything, and when the zombies don’t hear.
