make it possible to immerse oneself into their structural essence so as
to grasp their energetic and aesthetic meaning.

I think I disagree with Mr. Klocker's thesis about Kren's films and their relationship to Actionist works of art. These films are not documentaries or even essays on the nature of Actionist work. They are experiments in film making using Actionist performance as raw material. They are pungent and resonant.
