Pinchneck

1968, 2 min, color, silent, 16 mm film on video

In several of his films Nauman manipulates his flesh (see Pulling Mouth and Thighing). Here he pinches his neck as well as his cheeks and mouth. Related are a series of contemporaneous infrared photos by Jack Fulton for which Nauman posed, pulling his lips and cheeks into odd distortions.
