During this art action Nitsch pours 180 liters of pig blood on a canvas and on five blindfolded assistants in white robes who stand in front of the canvas. This is the first time that Nitsch dedicates his art to a “political” cause in a broad sense, but he emphasizes that for him this is not a political act, he only wants to express his strong opposition to nuclear weapon testing.In original language:Hermann Nitsch Schüttaktion franz.
