Re:Perform was born out of the interest in the publishing practice of newspapers that regularly run a ‘This Day in History’ section. Selecting a number of historical events and re-presenting them as connected by the sole common feature of their occurrence on one particular day raises the issue of selective narrativisation and the problematic construction of history through approved media outlets. Working with the Otago Daily Times from the period 26 February - 14 March 2012 The Yellow Men will select an aspect of an article from the same day one year ago and reinterpret it through their performative practice.
