At Paris Photo
Auditorium (level 1)
The performance stems from the idea of reclaiming one's own time through an act of disruption. "Temps mort" recalls the situationist phrase "Vivez sans temps mort" ("Live without dead time") and also becomes the time of photography. Benassi intends to work without a stage, moving among the audience and involving it directly: people, with no obligation, will be able to approach and alter the unfolding of the action. Photography will be an integral part of the performance, marking its time and documenting it.
