Indeed, Bock uses the provocative possibilities of a century of performance to liberate his own fantasies. More recently, his videos show him balancing art and documentation. Expertly shot by Knut Klassen and edited by Marc Aschenbrenner as though the camera were Bock's body or Bock's eyes were the camera, these shimmering, visionary figments of an unstoppable imagination are critical to the ongoing debate on how to read and remember live art's history while contributing to a performance idiom of the future.

New York--based critic RoseLee Goldberg frequently writes on performance.
