societies.
Self-destructive painting, sculpture and construction is a total unity of
idea, site, form, colour, method, and timing of the disintegrative process.
Auto-destructive art can be created with natural forces, traditional art
techniques and technological techniques.
The amplified sound of the auto-destructive process can be an element of the
total conception.
The artist may collaborate with scientists, engineers.
Self-destructive art can be machine produced and factory assembled.
Auto-destructive paintings, sculptures and constructions have a life time
varying from a few moments to twenty years. When the disintegrative process
is complete the work is to be removed from the site and scrapped."- Gustav
Metzger, 4 November 1959
