Edited by curator Simon Baker, this book provides fresh insight into the inter-relationship between performance and photography. With over 300 illustrations, this is the definitive publication on two of the most popular and intriguing art forms of our time. Exhibition: Tate Modern, London, UK (18.02-12.06.2016).
