Пърформативната естетика на Христо и Жан-Клод
Hristo and Jeanne-Claude’s Performative Aesthetics

Summary/Abstract: The article attempts to outline the specificity of the art created by Hristo and Jeanne-Claude. The author analyzes the connections and oppositions of their works to the situation in modern art. Their technical strategies are discussed in the context of Walter Benjamin’s views on the lost aura of the work of art under the conditions of its technological reproducibility. The author’s main aim is to show the performative character of Hristo and Jeanne-Claude’s large-scale architectural installations, which actively engage the audience in giving being and meaning to the work.
