Situationist art

Situationist art - Situationist International

 

Situationist art is an avant-garde artistic and political movement that emerged in the 1950s. It was associated with the Situationist International, a group of artists, writers, and thinkers who aimed to critique and subvert the capitalist society through their creative and intellectual pursuits. Situationist art often involved the concept of "psychogeography," where artists explored the emotional and psychological effects of urban environments on individuals. It also included practices like detournement, which involved the subversion and transformation of existing cultural and media images for political and artistic purposes.
