Performance art

Art that uses the artist's body and presence in real time as its primary material, often rejecting the creation of a finished object in favor of ephemeral experience and direct engagement with an audience. Performance art emerged as a way to collapse the distance between maker and viewer, and to claim presence and vulnerability as legitimate artistic material.
