Bruce Nauman had the simple but profound realization:
“If I was an artist and I was in the studio, then whatever I was doing in the studio must be art…At this point art became more of an activity and less of a product.”
Reynolds’ film performance contributes the further dimension of aliveness to the understanding of how moving image art overlaps with other arts and practices including performance, photography and installation. The live construction of the image destroys the illusion of film, revealing the whole studio process as art.
