Description

This catalogue documents the first comprehensive exhibition of Hermann Nitsch's oeuvre in Denmark featuring more than 150 important works from the 1960s to 2022.

Paintings, immersive installations, videos, photographs, and musical and graphic works by Hermann Nitsch from the 1960s until 2022 delve into the various themes and genres that Nitsch's challenging and expressive art operates with. His many public appearances - featuring such props as naked bodies, slaughtered animals, meat, entrails and bodily fluids - and his highly expressive bloody paintings are distinguished by an intense appropriation of religious symbols and liturgical rituals, culminating in the socalled Orgien-Mysterien-Theater (Orgies Mysteries Theatre) where performance, visual art, music, science and life merge into an opulent, intoxicating and cultically elevated Gesamtkunstwerk that affects all the senses.
