Mike Parr
Artwork Detail
This early performance work was recorded at Moore Park, NSW, Australia. Parr’s works strive to get away from symbolism, and back to the presentation of facts. The title of this work outlines a situation. “I view my performance works as units of experience.” The view from the camera is literally a documentation of the lived experience. Pushing a camera is an instruction piece. Occurring in an era prior to reality TV, the endurance mechanisms of Parr’s performance are a prescient kind of behaviour modification.
