In the spring of 2004 Dazibao presented a three-part project entitled Performance et Photographie: POINT & SHOOT. The event brought together several artists for two exhibitions and one day of performances. This book is an extension of the project. Six writers have been invited to continue reflecting upon the connections between photography and performance, moving beyond what is apparently their most obvious relationship — the recorded image’s function to document transient practices.
