Bruce Nauman
The video corridor installation by Bruce Nauman is very much along the lines of what I want to create. In this piece, the viewer/participant walks down a narrow hallway to two a video screen. On the screen you see yourself from a camera that is positioned at the entrance above the door. As you walk down the hallway you get closer to the screen but further from the camera. You also are seeing yourself from behind which causes the viewer irritation.The idea of involving the viewer in a video installation is exactly what I want to do. I want to provoke some emotion from the viewer as they are "trapped" inside the piece.
In Nauman's piece, the viewer who is being monitored also is monitoring their own activities. The viewer becomes a participant in the piece, which is what I want to do.
