Street photography as a phenomenon of visual art of the 20 th –21 st centuries

Abstract

The article examines street photography as a dynamic phenomenon of 20th–21st century visual art, focusing on its intermedial nature at the intersection of documentary, street art, and performance. This reflects contemporary art discourse, where genre boundaries are fluid. The study highlights street photography as a flexible visual code that captures urban reality through public artistic events. A site- specific case is analyzed through the performance K.K. (KLOWN KONZEPT) by the French theatre company Les ELéments DISPOnibles, illustrating how photography and street theatre converge into a unified form of artistic expression within the context of the urban environment.
