Deletions:
The idea of "presence" essential to performance (in contrast to theatrical representation). Yet since the beginning the form depended on (mostly photographic) documentation like no other form. Contrast of ephemerality and remains. Auslander stressing performativity of photography, photography able to construct something as performance. Specific aesthetic of performance documentation, resembling press photography.

Over a 9 ? 5 working period I sat in the offices of Obero and captured my breath in over 3,000 plastic sandwich bags. During the period, breaks totalling one and half-hours were taken for lunch and tea.
The work was an attempt to quantify and produce a visual record of the amount of breath breathed out during a working day.
