Autoperformas

Autoperformas is a term that describes a performance or action undertaken by an individual or group on themselves. This can involve a range of activities, from self-experimentation and personal artistic projects to acts of self-transformation or self-care. The core idea is that the performer is both the subject and the agent of the performance. This can blur the lines between art, life, and identity, as the act of performing on oneself can be deeply personal and revealing.

The concept often intersects with performance art, where the artist's body, mind, and experiences become the medium. Autoperformas can be highly conceptual, exploring themes of identity, vulnerability, endurance, or the relationship between the inner and outer self. It can also be a way for individuals to process personal experiences, challenge societal norms, or simply engage in a creative exploration of their own being. The audience for autoperformas can range from a select few to a public stage, and the intention behind the act can vary widely, from catharsis and self-discovery to social commentary or artistic expression. The emphasis remains on the self-directed and self-applied nature of the performance.
