Violent Incident—Man-Woman, Segment
A grid of twelve monitors displays a rapidly repeating sequence in which a man and woman enact a violent altercation that escalates from a dinner table prank gone wrong. Nauman loops and multiplies the footage across the screens, transforming a brief, darkly comedic exchange into an overwhelming, relentless assault on the senses. The work forces viewers to confront the unsettling proximity of humor and violence embedded in everyday social interactions.
