How does one document performance art, which is not an object but an interaction between artist and viewers? After the perfor
mance, the work is preserved in various videos, photographs, eyewitness accounts, and remaining artifacts. It is these remains that
enter the archive and the catalog, and which must be described and interrelated to give an idea of the original performance. This
article addresses several practical and philosophical concerns that are raised by this process of integration and their ramifications.
