PERFORMANCE AND DOCUMENTATION
The development of video in the late 60s and early 70s meant that artists could document their work in a more immediate way than previously.
A tradition of documentation was, however, already established by artists of durational works focusing on the body and performance.
Documentary films like James Scott's - Richard Hamilton, included performance pieces and blurred definitions of 'documentary' and 'documentation.'
