"the following day of the 2nd millenium the art-performance survives of an unquestionable amnesia as the many festivals, meetings and symposiums testify their refusal to this art form, this due to the vast culturisation. performance devoluate*, the artist-performers are in refusal of new forms of institution without never wanting a superficial balance between the requirements of their production and those of a rather gigantic "market"; forms of action which are lived, are and do not comfort themselves to open out on republican territories. From where the desire - and perhaps the total desire - to share a committee of reflexion, hetic and user-friendliness to support an autonomous economy of the art-performance " ** 

If one tried to summarize the art of performing today, that could give: 

Past = Art 
the art-performance is attached to the authority of art, 
the artist-performer is initially artist before being a performer, 
he's thus requested refering to his past as an artist. 

Present = Life 
the artist performer uses the form of the present to show, 
the present touches the brittleness of being and life, 
the art-performance shows the object of the artist and the artist as a subject, 
it thus reconsiders the object. 

Future = Document 
the artist performer is relieved of the object, 
the object becomes document and not work of art, 
the document appears in the public domain. 

This diagram gives place to a principle of parrallel economy *** - from where I come, where I am and where I go - art is allotted to a concept of quality and time, the life is a concept of desire and suffering - romanticism - and the document is a committee of hetic and domestic management of the senses. 

Like any fundamental principle, the past represents the birth, the present, the life and the future, death; if we attribute these three times in a logical way to the art-performance, the past represents the object - to be - of art, the present, the performance - ritual - of art and the future, the image - burial - of art. It is for this same reason that one cannot speculate superficially with a document of art - the burial is the ground and not the family - the document is our history... We visit it.
