Ephemerality in contemporary art

Abstract

In this study an aspect of “ephemerality” in contemporaiy art is analyzed. In this respect, while Land Art and Installation art are underlined in relation to a variety of concepts, like site-specificity, process, and evanescence, the notions of fragility, penetrability, and process are highlighted through the works of artists who may be said to take ephemerality in connection to their identity. Then, after noting ephemerality as the main framework, these concepts are traced in relation to my works.
