Abstrakt: This study explores the underground artistic project Autopsia from Vojvodina, examining its visual, textual and musical works within the context of ex-Yugoslav avant-garde, neo-avantgarde and postmodern art. The focus will be on Autopsia's latest project Steel Books, which are unique art objects that incorporate diverse cultural questions. Steel Books recontextualize ancient motifs of night and death, resonating with similar themes found in Baroque art and literature. Autopsia combines the Baroque method of discordia concors with postmodern eclecticism, but rather than celebrating the neoliberal 'free market' of cultural artefacts, it offers a critical perspective.
