The Obscure work of Bruce Nauman

Coming back to artist Bruce Nauman, who made his work without the intention for any interactions with an audience, but more to expand on personal qualities, and presenting "live sculptures" using his own body.

One of his works that was showcased in page 49 of Rush's New Media art, describes Anthro/Socio (Rinde Facing Camera).



One of Nauman's work caught my interest in researching, that being the preformance video: Clown Torture. It is said that Nauman often portrayed clowns in his work as it invoked his interest for erratic human behavior and language. The video provided below shows him in some screens moving  his limbs vigorously in random directions while yelling and pleading for help.
