Abstract
Performance Art provides a wider and freer space for movement than previous arts. However, this freedom has made some groups of artists to be very brave in creating the creative process in an anti-mainstream way. In the end, the stereotype of Performance Art as a sub-field of art synonymous with extremes is formed on the basis of that. This research was conducted with qualitative research methods using data collection techniques such as interviews, observations, and documentation. The results of this study explain that Performance Art is present today as a form of art evolution. The many new problematic treats in modern society give birth to new feelings in humans. Humans who live in this era feel things that are more complex than humans who lived in previous centuries. This feeling triggers the birth of a brutal and passionate feeling that some artists vent to extreme activities through Performance Art.
