The term Viennese Actionism describes a short and violent movement in 20th century art that can be regarded as part of the many independent efforts of the 1960s to develop "action art" (Fluxus, Happening, Performance, Body Art, etc.). Its main participants were Günter Brus, Otto Mühl, Hermann Nitsch, and Rudolf Schwarzkogler. The work of these Viennese Actionists is probably best rememered for the willful transgressiveness of its naked bodies, destructiveness and violence. Often brief jail terms were served by participants for violations of decency laws and their works were targets of moral outrage.

This DVD is filled with images which many will consider extremely offensive.
