Walk With An Exaggered Manner @ Bruce Nauman. 1967-68
WALK IN AN EXAGGERED MANNER AROUND THE PERIMETER OF A SQUARE, 1967-1968
1967-68, 10 min, b&w, silent, 16 mm film
In this silent film, Nauman walks around the perimeter of a large square marked off with masking tape. He shifts his hips exaggeratedly as he places one foot in front of the other, moving carefully around the square. On the back wall of the studio there is a small, tilted mirror in which his actions sometimes are visible as well. Nauman claims the function of the mirror was to expose that which might otherwise be concealed from the viewer.
