| Summary: | What is a living sculpter? Can time be represented? What should be the lifespan of a work of art? Who can say do not touch the works? Can stealing an idea be justified? This 8-part Live Art documentary collection attempts to answer these questions by focusing on works referred to as ephemeral. These presentations and performances exist only for the duration of an exhibit then disappear, to be -perhaps- recreated in another location. From New York to Istanbul, from the Sao Paulo Biennial to the Palais de Tokyo in Paris, this documentary series makes us question the place of art in our lives and the significance of the staging, the venue and the role of the visitor for an exhibition.
