This book was excessively descriptive of the specific performances illustrated within. It mentions the calm demeanor in the artists' statements, which was probably most influential (since I had already become familiar with most of the art works by this point: Acconci, Abramovic, Burden). I want to convey this in my work, too, which is why I'm leaving my book very simple.
I want the viewer to incur meaning behind the images and videos without being told too much initially. I don't want to have long journal entries or anything, but I'm really excited about expanding all of these experiments in the future.
Here is a video link as a reminder for me to watch it later
