A long deleted artist record anthology by Nicola Frangione, issued in a handful of copies back in 1997 "During the last 30 years Action Art has found fertile fields of confluence between  the  experimentation about vision and gesture and poetic- visual sound dramaturgy. A large space of this research has been characterized by the connection of Performance Art with the arguments connected to the poetics of the “total poetry” and by the development of the performance technologies in a technological key. In reality this kind of artistic research appears at the beginning of the 20th century and it goes through the whole century. Both in a practical way and  theoretically, the succession of artistic events based on the use of the body as a dynamic entity, with a strong aesthetic tension and a great impact on the viewer, has deeply influenced different fields of experimentation beyond the institutional categories of show and artistic genres disciplines. Nowadays Action Art and Performance go around the world overcoming geographical and linguistic bounds, they put into practise the contamination and fusion of languages, artistic technologies, genres, existential dimension and ways of life.
