Peter Richard's huge, unique pinhole photograph is a back to front record of the history of performance art. Within it, quite separately, groups or individuals act out or re-enact a distillation of moments. The artist engaged with live work, relates to the idea that art constantly needs to record itself. The work documents the continual frustration of performance artists in their bid to remain part of physical fact. The photograph itself defying permanence.
