The term refers to works of photography in which the motif has been staged especially for the picture and in which the respective artist, in addition to his role as a photographer, also plays the part of director, stage and costume designer, make-up artist and from time to time of performer as well." -- [Quoted from the dw blurb].

She writes in an introductory note: "I mainly wanted to catch the flow of their energy, not for the sake of analytical study but as a direct reading of the performance at hand. Putting aside the conventions of 35mm and documentary photography, I became part of the event itself. I used continuous time exposures while hand-cranking the film through the camera.." .
