Body as a Medium and Metaphor in the Context of Performance Art
Journal Title: In Medias Res - Year 2018, Vol 7, Issue 13
Abstract
Consciously or unconsciously, a new subversive world has been built with the change of consciousness, cultural segments, environment and reality experiences, as well as the emerging denial of form and art as contemplative medium, and the demolition of standards by artists who dictated the aesthetics of beauty and exclusivity of thematic freedom. During the sixties, when the society is already slowly getting into postmodernism, the boundary between the body and experience is fading and new, different art forms such as body art, performance, happening, etc. are bursting to the surface. Therefore, in this philosophical-artistic context, we are going to deal with the major medium of these art forms, the body. We live in the age when the reproduction of body as a medium has been overrepresented in social communication (through commercials, photography, music videos, fashion etc.). Furthermore, another form of its representation can be found in the performance art which initiates the aesthetics of a happening because, it is the performance that, when in service of happening, becomes a symbol of a living art and living movement.
