What is a living sculpture? A statue which gets down off its pedestal in the evening to go home, and then comes back the next morning, becoming once again a work of art. With Marina Abramovic, Xu Zhen, Laura Lima, Jordan Wolfson and others.

What is a living sculpture? Can time be represented? What should be the lifespan of a work of art? Who can say do not touch the works? Can stealing an idea be justified?

The LIVE ART documentary collection attempts to answer these questions by focusing on works referred to as “ephemeral”. These presentations and performances exist only for the duration of an exhibition then disappear, to be – perhaps – recreated in another location. From New York to Istanbul, from the São Paulo Biennial to the Palais de Tokyo in Paris, this documentary series makes us question the place of art in our lives and the significance of the staging, the venue and the role of the visitor for an exhibition.
