Abstract

This edited collection if essays covers Fisher's career from his involvement with Fluxus in the 1960s through to Sputtor (2014). The essays discuss Fisher's relations to Fluxus and the documentary; the large-scale poem as a heuristic device and 'practice of knowledge'; the important topic of health in Fisher's work; his engagement with Brixton as a 'sounded space' and with fractals as a way of negotiating the discontinuity of everyday life; compositional procedures and political implications; collage, quotation and poetic knowledge. The essays cover his performance work, poetry, and art practice.
