This book contains descriptions of over 500 of Ben’s performances from 1961 to the present.
“Performance” according to Ben, as an artistic activity, is situated in the history of contemporary art after Marcel Duchamp, the Dada movement and John Cage, that is to say after the historical awareness of the 1910s that any object, life, gesture can be considered as art.
