durational performance

Durational performance is an art form where an activity or event is designed to last for an extended period, often challenging traditional notions of time and endurance. It emphasizes the experience of time itself, engaging both performers and audiences in a shared moment that unfolds over hours, days, or even longer. Unlike typical performances with a clear beginning and end, durational works focus on the process, presence, and passage of time, often exploring themes of patience, mortality, and the human condition. It invites viewers to reflect on how time influences perception, identity, and meaning.
