Resumo:This paper concerns concepts as Remediation, Immediacy and Hipermediacy in media studies and consider their characterization in Performance Art context, in particular when visual imagery is used to create self representations. We redefine these concepts, that is, we repurpose them, and we affirm a convergence of immediacy and hipermediacy in the case when using several self mediums of presentation and also a real-time body presence are part of the same performance. So, not only these concepts become part of the media based tools used within creation processes in performance, but they are also teoretical tools which allow us to expand visual performance studies. We present a concrete example of a Performance/Installation, On a Multiplicity where photography, video managing, webpages, and social networks were used along the process and where their convergence into a concrete object to be studied is the main idea.
