This panel event looks at how the performative is located within the photograph itself, and in the relationship of the image to the viewer, as well as photography's relationship to the written and spoken word.

Resurgence in interest around photography’s relationship to performance has increased the awareness of the photograph both as documentation and as a performative work in itself. Recent international exhibitions have explored photography's relationship to 'performance' and the differing ways that artists have used the camera in this arena.

Speakers include LaToya Ruby Frazier, Carol Mavor, Olivier Richon and chaired by Catherine Grant.

The panel was preceded by a seminar led by Carol Mavor interrogating the relationship of photography and performance, through discussion and engaging with a key text on Photography and Affect.

Kathy Kubicki gave the introductory talk, and was a convener of the seminar. This is the second of a three part series of events organised in collaboration between UCA, the Tate and 'Photography and Culture'.

The event was made available as a podcast by the Tate on their website and on iTunes.
