Washing Hands Abnormal

1996 • 56 min

In this work, shown on two stacked monitors, Bruce Nauman washes his hands with a thoroughness bordering on obsession. Each from a different vantage point, the two monitors present a simple everyday action, extended to fill almost an hour. The work is a self-portrait in which the hands serve as a metaphor for the artist’s creative potency. The camera’s unorthodox angle, the image’s shifting colors and the repetitive movement unite in giving this commonplace act an hypnotic effect. Bruce Nauman is particularly renowned for his video performances of the 1970s in which his body is the focus of improvised, repetitive acts. The works produced in the ‘90s refer back to the strategy he pursed in his earlier career.

Kajol's Pigeon

1996 • 3 min

Kajol is a star actress in Indian movies. I discovered a strange scene when I was watching a video of a movie she was in. In one scene of a musical, Kajol throws a dove into the sky, which then falls to the ground. This would not be OK on a Japanese movie set. So I thought about the differences between Indian and Japanese movies. By the way, I read in a book that there is a goddess of cinema in India. I guess she protects Indian movies. So, is there no god of cinema in Japan? Oh, but not of cinema, there is a god of dance. I started writing a screenplay with this goddess, Ame-no-Uzume, as the main character, but the Yatagarasu, the guide for nation building, fell to the ground, and the story ended happily.
