The camera body: the performer and his image

Abstract

In this introductory essay for her work Le corps-caméra: le performer et son image, Sophie Delpeux wonders about which place does the performance images occupy in the light of the body arts. In this way, the author leads us through the reflection on what makes us see in those photographs not a substitute of the performance but another instance of experience. For this dossier, Delpeux added a few opening lines to give us account of the current state of their research.
