An Act of Appearing
By Rose Pickles
2013
Can we understand a performance through documentation alone? Assimilating its traces we reanimate the act, merging the actual with the possible and the virtual to form our own version of events. As such, subject to countless interpretations, performance documentation can have no authenticity, in which case, does it matter if the performance ever took place?
