  • Rudolf Schwarzkogler holds a special position among the Viennese Actionists: His work is created exclusively in front of and for the camera. In his six Actions he used medical supplies such as bandages, razor blades, surgical instruments, and electric cables, but also dead fish and chickens. Confronted with these are usually a naked male model or, as here, his own body wrapped in bandages. These statically arranged tableaux merely hint at aggression and destruction. The full potential to shock and horrify is only realized when the actions are completed in the recipient’s imagination.
