1965 · 4 min
An unsettling, wordless performance piece that feels like watching a body come apart, demanding patience and offering discomfort rather than story.

- Overview
- A performance in which Gunter Brus writhed on a floor covered in a viscous white paint. Though Brus did not harm himself, violence and damage are everywhere suggested the black painted line dividing his body seems to split him open, sludge-like paint covers his eyes and seeps into his mouth, and a corkscrew ominously points toward his face.
- How it feels
