The main members of the group are Günter Brus, Hermann Nitsch and Rudolf Schwarzkogler. Their ‘actions’ are intended to highlight endemic violence of mankind and deliberately surprising, including self-adjustment, and quasi-religious ceremonies using the blood and the contents of the animal’s stomach. Nitsch gave a general title ceremony for theater Orgies-Myseries. Wina’s action artists who were less cruel but not less sad at that time were Arnulf Rainer.
