拍品专文

This work represents Nauman's return to the medium of video after a hiatus of twelve years and is the first of many projects shot at Video D Studios, New York, in collaboration with Dennis Diamond that continues to the present. The return was prompted by his feeling that the neons posed to many restrictions for telling stories with and figurative elements. "I had to go back to remind myself how I had used figures before in video and sculptureto allow myself to make these things. I had some sense of how they could be shown without them being stuck in a video room someplace. I wanted to show them as a piece--even though they had no objects." (B. H. Simon, Bruce Nauman: exhibition catalogue and catalogue raisonné, exh. cat., Minneapolis 1994, p. 295).
