Abstract :
This article introduces hemispheric performance studies to suggest that performance in the Americas -and the very idea of the ʹhemisphericʹ - may be usefully engaged as a set of connected practices in deep time rather than as a continental mass in uniform space. The argument is illustrated in relation to three contemporary artists: the Los Angeles-based photographer and multimedia artist Bruce Yonemoto, and the visual and performance artists Susana Torres from Lima, Peru, and Liliana Angulo from Bogota, Colombia
