Abstract

The article traces the scenographic potential contained by the matter of objects, respectively non-objects used in emblematic manifestations such as the site- specific event, the installation and the experimental performance. These manifestations become the ideal mediums through which the artistic object manages to assimilate information from its distant past, inevitably also reflecting the force of the myth, which has nourished art for centuries.
