In Clea Rsky, Bruce Nauman portrays California through what seems to be full-bleed photographs of clear skies in the San Francisco Bay Area. The publication replicates the size of vinyl album inserts and include sequences of monochrome sheets ranging between tones of white, blue, and grey. While its title suggest content depicting shifting impressions of the sky, its monochrome pages foreground the materiality of ink on paper. Questioning the value and status of images, documentary realism, and photography, this work point to Nauman’s fascination with the intersections of words, language, and meaning, which he often explores by stressing doubt and ambiguities in interpretation.
