German term

prozesshaft

German to English Art/Literary Art, Arts & Crafts, Painting
From a text on the artis Paul Thek.
"Bekannt wurde Paul Thek 1965 mit den „Technologial Reliquaries“, Wachsnachbildungen von Körperteilen oder Fleisch-Stücken, die in Plexiglaskästen platziert waren.
Seit seinem Tod ist Paul Thek etwas in Vergessenheit geraten, was wohl damit zu tun hat, dass er mit seinem Werk dem Ephemeren und der Entmaterialisierung huldigte und seine prozesshafte Installationskunst von der Kraft des Momentanen lebte.""

assemblages

I would use "assemblages" for the whole "prozessenhafte Installationskunst"

The first two suggestions come from material about this artist. Perhaps German doesn't have a specific word for assemblages(though hard to believe):

Peer comment(s):

neutral Gert Sass (M.A.) : Sorry, but while p.-based and p.-oriented (my personal choice) would both work well (serving to explain the "K. d. Momentanen"), I fail to see any aspect of Prozesshaftigkeit in this suggestion.
