Description

Bruce Nauman’s early studio videos like Bouncing in a Corner challenged artmaking possibilities, foregrounding the artist’s industrial studio space as creative incubator. In this video he bounces in the corner of the room, although with the camera turned 90 degrees, he appears to be defying gravity.
