Lip Sync

Running 1h 1m, Lip Sync (1969) is a film in the 123movies catalog. Bruce Nauman directs. An upside-down close-up of the artist’s mouth, Nauman repeats the words “lip sync” as the audio track shifts in and out of sync with the video. The disjunction between what is seen and heard keeps the viewer on edge, struggling to attach the sound of the words with the off-kilter movements of Nauman’s mouth.
