Rudolf Schwarzkogler (1940-1969) was one of the main representatives of Austrian performance art in the 1960s.

Both productions are addressed from the perspective of ecocritical and posthumanist tendencies in contemporary aesthetic and anthropological discourse, particularly Anne Lowenhaupt Tsing's anthropological consideration of the subject and Timothy Morton's concept of the assymetrical phase of art. The paper looks for ways leading to the theatre of the new future - the Mortonian...
