The Teatrino presents a cycle of screenings entitled “Intorno a Nauman”, curated by cinema critic and author Dominique Païni and inspired by the exhibition ‘Bruce Nauman: Contrapposto Studies’ at Punta della Dogana.
The selection includes films that somehow echo the act of walking and the classical pose of the Contrapposto, two elements at the heart of Bruce Nauman’s works on view. As well as establishing a dialogue with the performances of Bruce Nauman, the cycle retraces the story of Contrapposto, of moving bodies, at the centre of cinematography since its beginning.
