Günter Brus

This three-minute film was far more akin to the American-style "happening" in that the content was not particularly extreme. It was built up from items such as broken bicycle parts, a nude model, pieces of furniture, and these elements were then obscured or transformed by having a layer of paint thrown on them. (imdb)

Kren's 10/65: Self-Mutilation emphasizes the surrealistic drama of symbolic self-destruction that Kren drew out of Brus's action, pacing out each gesture so that one gets a tense, iconoclastic revelation of a man covered in white plaster lying surrounded by razor blades and a range of instruments looking as if they have been taken from an operating theater. The blades, scissors and scalpels are gradually inserted into him in a ritualistic self-operation. (Mubi)

Kren didn't want to show this film at first because it's underexposed. A copy of the reversal footage proved to be better than the original, and Kren finally did show it. The title refers to the fact that Brus used silver paper for the action. (Mubi)

The London Film-Makers' Cooperative calls this film the "Eating, Drinking, Pissing and Sh*tting film". (imdb)
