Abstract

This paper deals with the analysis of Bruce Nauman's Square Depression, a sculpture that revives the debate on approach of art with architecture in public space. A work that develops on the floor, building a new topography, resembling the idea of architectural ramp, but nonetheless seeks to bring a different experience in the artistic scene with respect to the public and private domains. The work also seeks to frame the work within the panorama of the artist's sculptures thus revealing its unique aspect.
