The radical artistic movement known as Viennese Actionism emerged in the early 1960s in a social climate that was still strongly shaped by the Church and continuities from the Nazi era. Günter Brus, one of its central figures, approached working with the human body as an expansion of the traditional concepts of art and painting. In Action with Diana, Brus engages in a performative interaction with his six-month-old daughter. Painted in white from head to toe, he stages himself in an equally white room, where Diana lies on a cushion on the floor. He imitates the child’s behavior as a symbolic reversal of roles and an attempt to connect with the new human being. This personally significant and deeply moving action was documented in photographs by filmmaker Kurt Kren. It deliberately sought to dissolve the boundary between private sphere and public artistic production.Photography1237273386050Belvedere 21image/jpegIn CopyrightFoto: Johannes Stoll / Belvedere, Wienhttps://sammlungtest.belvedere.at/internal/media/dispatcher/122658/fullhttps://sammlungtest.belvedere.at/apis/iiif/presentation/v2/1-objects-86050/manifest
