Drawing Blind Drawing

Directed by Tacita Dean and Bruce Nauman

Drawing Blind Drawing focuses solely on Nauman and Dean’s hands as they draw. The film diptych uses two 'torn' masks derived from Nauman's collage. Each film shows different paper grounds; one made with blackboard paint and the other with traditional white silverpoint acrylic. One artist is blind and is assisted by the other who can see. Who leads and who is led changes in the other half of the frame, and in one drawing, they use only one hand while in the other, they use both hands.
