Goudouna. Sozita. Personhood and the Allure of the Object, 1st Global Conference – Performance: Visual Aspects of Performance Practice, Prague, Czech Republic, 11th - 13th November , 2010, (original) (raw)

The paper explores the intersection of personhood and objecthood in performance art, particularly through the lens of minimalist practices that aim to strip away representation and emphasize the 'objecthood' of the performer. It critiques audience expectations and expectations of visibility in performances, while also discussing the impact of emerging technologies on the relationship between performers and their medium. Key themes include the reconfiguration of identity, the significance of unseen elements in performance, and the evolving role of technology in shaping artistic expression.
