Art/Literary - Arte, Arti applicate, Pittura / biographical information
Termine o frase Italiano: possibilità rappresentative
Nikhil Chopra fa il suo ingresso nel mondo della performance art nei primi anni duemila con il personaggio di Sir Raja, un nobile principe indiano dai costumi anglicizzati, pigro e affettato.

L’intreccio tra elementi autobiografici e storia coloniale e postcoloniale dell’India permea tutte le sue azioni che, procedendo per salti temporali non sempre lineari, sottopongono a continua verifica le possibilità rappresentative della performance. Costumi e accessori d’epoca, mobili, oggetti comuni, disegni e fotografie contribuiscono a creare il contesto in cui l’azione si svolge e, a performance conclusa, divengono opere installative autonome.

*****

I've got: Nikhil Chopra entered the world of performance art in the early 2000s with his character Sir Raja, a noble yet lazy, affected and Anglicized Indian prince.

The intertwining of both autobiographical elements and the colonial and postcolonial history of India permeate all of his actions which—not always following a linear progression—subject the [representative possibilities of the performance to continual scrutiny/review] (????). Period garments and accessories, furnishings, objects, illustrations and photographs all contribute to create the context in which the performance occurs. Once the performance is over, these objects even become independent art installations of their own.

________

The 'possibilita' rappresentative' here throws me off. Is the author talking about the venue which may change how the performance is carried out? Or is he talking about the autobiographical information that--depending on what the artists which to include or omit during each performance--may vary, thus making the performance itself a bit difference?
