Abstract
In writing and researching this book, I am aware of shifting critical discourses within an interdisciplinary landscape, which is the performance context of the twenty-first century. On my journey of researching, exploring and spectating such a landscape, I am drawn to the changing directions of the frames of performance, which include the urban landscape, the city, the building — church, Coliseum or car park — as well as the art gallery room with the video or sculptural installation. The shift is that I am inside the frame, experiencing the duality of the imagery of the art-work’s being and the environment of everyday life. Every frame I inhabit has its own architectural, spatial connotation. It is this shift, which has provoked my choice of artists for this book.
