The Analysis of The Concept of Time in Performance-Art based on Gilles Deleuze’s Ideas

Art in Deleuze’s ideas is a block of percepts and affects that is made in order to make audiences free from clichés. Performanceart works’ approach to social matters are to disarrange clichés, too. The aim of this paper is to analyze “Time” as an essential component in performance-art works to answer to this question: What potential is in artists’ approach to this component for expressing social matters?  This qualitative research uses descriptive-analytical method and to elaborate Deleuze recognizes time as a qualitative component and he claims duration as true meaning of time that is in uninterrupted becoming. Then, by analyzing well-known performanceart works which emphasize on time, we found: artists, by framing their work, make audiences pay attention to duration and open hole of life and in result of it invite them for rethinking about all kinds of transcendentality which are maden by regimes of truth that govern the society.
