In “The Return of Bruce Nauman’s Bouncing Balls,” Francesco Vezzoli casts porn star Brad Rock in a reprisal of “Bouncing Balls,” Nauman’s 1969 close-up video of his own bouncing testicles. As Nauman’s work was itself an ironic reference to his earlier film “Bouncing Two Balls Between the Floor and Ceiling with Changing Rhythms” (1967-68) Vezzoli’s sweeping skyline and Mozart soundtrack make his video a remix twice removed—a glamorous and satirical twist on Hollywood techniques.
