Abstract

This essay makes an effort to discuss the question of performance art documentation, under the point of view of the deconstruction of colonizer’s logic as a result of the practice of this art in peripheral countries. The essay suggests the possibility to think about challenges put against institutions in charge to archive and support the work of art, Regards the perspectives concerning contemporary art. It takes, as a guiding principle, the idea that there is a production of Brazilian performance which gets out of the common understanding
forged in prestigious centers of the international art market.
