Summary/Abstract: In this article I decided to follow Claire Bishop in opting for the term “visual performance” that, despite some reservations, seems most precise. In her definition, visual performance is created by artists who have not been trained as actors, musicians, dancers, etc. In research, the term “performance art” has been used for performances since roughly the 1990s, thus marking a period before their considerable expansion. Whenever “performance” is used without further attributes, what is meant is the art of performance in a fine arts context, i.e. visual performance.
