[email protected]Ephemeral Archives: A performatic lecture by Hugo Fortes and Síssi Fonseca During our presentation we have read the text below, while we were showing some images of our previous pieces and also performing with objects that we used in our last performances. By showing these images in a kind of visual archive and also creating a new performance with material from other works we want to discuss the possibilities of reenactment and re- creation. The following images were projected during the presentation. At the end of this paper there are some photos of the performatic lecture presented in the Performing Documents Conference.
