description Now reunited in Overcoming the Problems of Art, the writings of Yves Klein contain some genuine ekphrasis, moving the traditional public of the gallery towards a readership that keeps growing thank to the reproductibility of the textual medium. This article will suggest to think the remains of performance art as a form of rewriting of the work of art. As an interdisciplinary artistic tradition, the performative medium, turned to photography or video art as transmission’s mode. It is why we will analyze how the image by the text relates to a form of appropriation and diversion, but also a critical distancing of mediation processes. The use of rewriting asserts the immateriality of the work of art while proposing a whole other aesthetic experience, allowing to renew the relationship between the artwork and its interpretation. Between description, critique and hermeneutic, the text in the performance context reaches multiple functions whose has never been cumulated before. Yves Klein’s artistic approach proves to be the ideal project to examine these problematics considering that the immaterial, the invisible and the void are inherent to what he offers as an experience to the public.
