Michael Landy is a British visual and performance artist whose most famous pieces include destroying all of his belongings, something he described as being one of the best things he'd ever done, and Art Bin, an installation where he created an enormous bin that artists could throw their "failures" into. I find these pieces, as well as his non-performance art pieces to be rather intriguing, and well worth a look at whether or not you are a fan of performance art. His visual art can be very complex and aesthetically interesting, and have an all together whimsical feeling that make them distinct.
These pieces, for example, are very complicated and busy looking, but not in a negative way. They are a mess of different seemingly random things all stacked together and demand a lot of attention to fully take them in, but not in a tiring way. I'd say his art is worth taking a look at.
