This is a vary
interesting article talking about how performance is involved in being a form
of art. In this response, I also want to mention a movie--Run Lola Run. (which is mentioned by
Jonah in his response.) At the beginning of the movie, cartoon character and
real character are both involved which is very fascinating. The movie is
containing three similar plots of how Lola helps her boyfriend Manni repay the
100000 marks. Each plot is set in similar environment but different action by the same people, thus different results. For example, Lola would meet the same
people during her run in all o the iterations: a woman carries a baby car, a
man riding a bike, Mr. Meier, her Pappa and a man driving an ambulance.
However, the processes that they meet Lola are different. For example, at the
first iteration, Lola runs through before Meier’s car comes; at the second
iteration, Lola jumps over Mr. Meier’s car; at the third iteration, Lola
crashes to Mr.Meier’s car and figures out the driver is Mr. Meier. I believe
these differences have consequences for each of the three outcomes. For
example, at the first iteration, Lola doesn’t know how to use a gun and Manni
tells her how to manipulate. However, at
the second iteration, it turns out that Lola already knows the way of using a
gun. Therefore, each of the iteration is not separate from each other. But we
also can say that the iterations are separated as although each of the
iterations has parallel plots, three of the iterations have different endings.
I find this is a very good and innovative idea to make a performance video by
introducing a similar plot with different reaction thus producing a totally
different ending.
Besides, I found
a very amazing performance video. The video is making in a totally dark area in
which all performers wear in black but with light on them.
