Flour Arrangements

1967 · 45 min

A patient, deadpan art exercise that asks you to watch small bodily rituals with curiosity rather than story.

Overview
Flour Arrangements, a photo series showing Bruce Nauman pushing some piles of flour around on the floor. He uses his body by treating it like material for his art. Nauman committed himself to making one ephemeral flour sculpture each day for over a month.
