In this book, artist Chelsea Coon unfolds the theory of enduramorphosis, an emergent strangeness that arises in an endurance performance when the body is pushed to its limit and reacts.

This book unfolds the theory of enduramorphosis, an emergent strangeness that arises in an endurance performance when the body is pushed to its limit and reacts.

Artist Chelsea Coon works across performance and lens-based extensions in photography, video, livestream, digital arts, and new media. Through her work, Coon explores how enduramorphosis is manifested differently across divergent performances. Written from a first-person perspective, this book presents an accessible intellectual exploration of the process and conceptualization of provocative and profound performances. Chelsea Coon combines powerful emotional resonance with physical and psychological extremes, giving the reader insights into the phenomenon of enduramorphosis and a rare glimpse into the motivations, feelings, desires and visceral excesses experienced by the performing body as it undergoes a transformation that lasts.

Chelsea Coon is an artist and writer whose work focuses on the shifting interconnections of the body, time, and space. She considers limits of the body and the enduring effects of frameworks that force the body to act and react through performance, photography, video, painting, sculpture, installation, and text. Coon has exhibited and performed extensively internationally in galleries, biennales, and festivals, and her writings on contemporary art, performance and philosophy have been published globally. She lives and works in Los Angeles.
