Nick Crossley’s concept of marginal reflexive body techniques is used to develop the concept of auto-reflexive body techniques, whose primary purpose is to work back upon the body of an acting individual, so as to modify, maintain, or thematise the body of the actor in some way, yet nevertheless with the intention to induce certain emotions, feelings, thoughts and agencies, in another individual. The author defines the body art performance as an artistic, social, cultural and political phenomenon where body art performers produce an event on their own body by using different repulsive marginal auto-reflexive body techniques as an investment of (unpleasant) feelings and emotions in the bodies of spectators. Body art performance additionally serves as a vehicle for the expression of private concerns about common matters in public.


Key words

marginal reflexive body techniques, auto-reflexive body techniques, pain, emotions, body art performance, audience, Nick Crossley.

I will be discussing throughout this dissertation how such a philosophy or way of thinking can be regarded as precursory to making artwork, whether existentialism is manifested in the process or the finished piece; whether it is the intention or simply a by-product.

Predominantly I will be drawing upon artists such as Giacometti, Pollock and more recent performance artists such as Beuys and Abramovic, comparing how their individual interpretations of process and action based art has been informed by existentialist thought and perhaps how it is existential in its complexity.
