Serious performance art, portraiture, or just simply posing for the camera? What does is it mean to perform for the camera?
From marketing and self-promotion, to the investigation of gender and identity, to experiments with the self-portrait, Performing for the Camera brings together over 500 images shown in series, including vintage prints, large scale works, marketing posters and artists working with Instagram. It is a wide-ranging exploration of how performance artists use photography and how photography is in itself a performance.
This tour is delivered in BSL by presenter Martin Glover and is related to the exhibition Performing for the Camera
