Summary/Abstract: The aim of this research is to analyze the autobiographical phenomena through the use of autotypical methodology and contemporary art examples, which are based on the autobiographical data of Joseph Beuys and Christian Boltanski in anthroposophical context.The basic paradigm shifts, sociological and historical accounts, the attitude of the individual and the artist to the external reality reveal itself as the other, society as the other and a new mythical, shamanic figure. This figure appears as a settlement with the past, expression of the past (history) artistic expression, and treatment of the experiences and emotions experienced in individual mythology. In this sense, the existence of poetic and minimalist structure as well as mystical influences in the conceptual studies and performances of the artists who make up the sample of the research emerge through the historical and social analysis of their biographical analysis as well as the autoetnographic past and paradigm shifts.
