Poster for No, No

No, No

1987 · 62 min

A relentless, repetitive loop that wears you down, turning a simple refusal into an anxious, almost unbearable confrontation.

Directed by
Bruce Nauman
Starring
Bruce Nauman
Overview
“Two color monitors placed in the window played one of Nauman’s most recent videos, that of a clown jumping up and down shouting ‘No, No, No, No!’ endlessly. Nauman’s videos confront the viewer with behavior normally thought unacceptable. The clown’s simple declarative statement takes on new meaning and creates tension and anxiety for the viewer.” The New Museum Annual Report, 1988
