Embodied Performance,Atmosphere Space,and Intermediary Experience——A Phenomenological Analysis of the Mechanism of"Performance Art"and Its Meaning
Since the 1960s,the"behavioral performance turn"in Western art has given rise to"performance art".As an art form of"performance",on the one hand,it abandons role-playing and restores"performance"to a self referential display of the actor's embodied behavior.On the other hand,it breaks the dichotomy between watching and acting,restoring viewing to a collaborative performance in which the audience actively participates.Therefore,performance art is neither a ready-made work nor a writable text,but rather an event of embodied co-performance.As an embodied co-performance event,"behavioral performance"does not occur in a physical theater space separated from the performance,but rather in an emotional atmosphere space opened by the embodied performance of behavioral performance.This kind of performance art has a unique mechanism of meaning,which is the mechanism of"embodied co-existence,intermediary experience,emotional space,embodied performance",and the intermediary experience is the pivot of this mechanism.
