ENThe article deals with the vanguard trend in postmodern art - aesthetical radicalism and new forms, such as installations, happenings, fluxus, performances, body art and others, where the process of creativity and the results of it invades the reality of contemporary life. Homosexuality, incest, narcissism, sadism, mania to kill, destruction and suicide, necrophilia and other phenomena which were treated as perversions earlier and didn’t fit in the context of the true art, now are applicable and very often represent by themselves the signs of actuality and aesthetical force. This trend of contemporary art reflects the spiritual situation of modem human being: ethical and religious relativism creates the feeling of seductive freedom and at the same time shows the dangerous borders, where the distinction between the fiction and the real life disappears. This force to meditate carefully about the semblance between the infinite phantasm of artist and the infinite will of transgressor, religious fanatic or politics. [From the publication]
