Gordon Matta-Clark came up with the word "nonuments" to describe his "detournement" position vis-a-vis the monument. This is a point of tension between formalizing the emotion of in-situ demarquation and the actuality of being.
You talk about that uncomfortable tension in terms of documentation. Referring back to Baudrillard isn't all media "performed" nowadays?
I know that I can't do straight video performance art without acknowledging the media-sphere and the segmentation/sampling/repetition of post production.
