| Popis: | This article provides an illustrated description and analysis of Kira O'Reilly's Stair Falling performance.1 It engages the notion of trauma through a number of interrelated writerly and theoretical gestures: through performative writing as the mode of writing that suspends theoretical judgment in order to approach the creative logic of art-making and art-practice; through activating trauma as a complex temporal dynamic in light of which O'Reilly's performance may be compared to Marcel Duchamp's painting Nude Descending a Staircase No. 2, and through a sustained theoretical analysis of some of the aesthetic and ethical stakes involved in engaging with trauma in making and theorizing performance. 1 Performed 3–19 July 2009 at the Whitworth Art Gallery, Manchester, UK, as part of ‘Marina Abramovic Presents …’ at the Manchester International Festival. |
