Bruce Nauman

Bruce Nauman: "Art Make-Up" (1967)


This is a really weird video where a guy covers himself in white make-up / paint. This is similar to the other videos with people painting themselves that I liked, however this video of 11 minutes is very long and gets pretty boring, whereas the others manage to keep it interesting with the different colours of paint or playing the video in reverse for example. The second video shows that it's a video installation rather than just video art because the person recording the exhibition moves to show another screen where he's covering his body in a different colour paint / make-up.

Walking in an exaggerated manner (1967-68)

Clown Torture (1987)
