Setting a Good Corner (Allegory & Metaphor)

About This Movie

If you’re into experimental art films, Setting a Good Corner (Allegory & Metaphor) is a curious little piece. Nauman’s choice to film a fence post installation might seem banal, but he layers it with deeper meanings. The pacing is intentionally slow, like time itself is being stretched, forcing you to engage with the act and think about the larger implications it carries. The whole atmosphere has this meditative quality, making you reflect on everyday actions and their significance. It’s not flashy, but there’s a rawness to it that feels honest and compelling, a real testament to Nauman's artistic vision.

Setting a Good Corner has had a limited release, mostly circulating in art film circles, which adds to its allure among collectors. The film has seen various formats, but its scarcity in mainstream collections makes it a unique find. Interest tends to be higher among those who appreciate avant-garde cinema or Nauman's work in general, as it connects deeply with themes of perception and meaning.
