Three Questions - Author & Institution

1. Is the photography of installation art an art that can stand alone or is it purely documentary? How can a photograph of an installation change your perceptions of the piece?

2. What category of art, if any, do "pre-documents" or preparatory drawings fall? Does the physical evidence for the planning of an installation piece carry the same underlying themes and ideas as the actual installation?

3. Is an installation piece more effective overall if it exists in a context that is separate from the traditional "art world"?
