Taking up the history of performance in the domain of art as well as music and choreography, the artist examines traditional images, structures, and processes and develops new tactics that contribute to an expanded conception of performance. A crucial aspect of this endeavor is her engagement with a much-discussed genre often felt to be fraught with problems: the documentation of performance... Imhof has found ways to straighten out the impermanence of performance in terms of time as well as space by introducing a variety of media such as film, drawing, and installation.
