Bruce Nauman

Violent Incident - Man/Woman Segment (Parkett Deluxe Edition No. 10)

Bruce Nauman's *Violent Incident - Man/Woman Segment* is a work rooted in his longstanding investigation of human aggression, absurdity, and the cyclical nature of conflict between individuals. The piece draws from his larger multi-channel video installation *Violent Incident*, in which a dinner table confrontation between a man and a woman rapidly escalates through repeated, mirrored sequences of provocation and retaliation. Produced as part of the Parkett Deluxe Edition series, the work reflects Nauman's characteristic use of repetition and dark humor to expose the unsettling mechanics of everyday violence.
