"Painting To Be Stepped On" is a photograph of a canvas that was part of a performance piece by Yoko d'Holbachie in 1960. The piece consisted of painting on canvas and then inviting viewers to step on it, effectively destroying the artwork in a performative act. This piece engages with the audience's understanding of art and its value. The photograph is a document of the performance, showing the canvas as a fragment of an unfinished painting, the physical evidence of the viewer's actions.
