ABSTRACT
The aim of this chapter is to highlight daily experience as an endless field of inspiration and an apparatus for performance. Issues such as the inability to categorize and analyze the everyday, its problematic documentation, lack of surprise and anti-heroic essence are brought into the discussion. Concepts such as the familiar and the unfamiliar, repetition and the trivial are also discussed in relation to everyday experience. Additionally, references are made to movements that have correlated the everyday with art, such as the Situationists, Fluxus, happenings and feminist art, most of which have been discussed in more detail in previous chapters. Finally, the theoretical works of Henri Lefebvre, Michel de Certeau, Ben Highmore and others are approached and case studies of performances and other performative actions are analyzed. The proposed projects study various aspects of the performance of the everyday in accordance with the issues raised by the case studies.
